Hey guys, This is probably my forth post in the past few months about the Eye infections ive been dealing with recently. I want to start with I think iv'e tracked the source, and it seems to be a Vitamin problem.. I haven't ever been too good at getting vitamin's in to my gecko's systems or even gut loading at all which is probably why all this is happening. A lot of people have had the same eye infection or Cloud/foggy eye problem, and they all say it's a Vitamin A issue. Neo has been dealing with this for four month's, and I feel like he still has a chance at being able to see again if I give him vitamins. What do you guys think? I really really would have taken him to a Vet before but my parent's dont care about my pets. In fact they are trying to get me to sell them/ get rid of them all the time but I don't know any one that i'd trust with them because I've had them all for one to three year's and I really don't want to part with them. So i'm forced to find good vet deal's or deal with this at home. I wish it hadn't taken me this long to find out what was wrong though I confirmed it was a Vitamin problem because the third gecko to come down with this " Eclipse " had been given Vitamin's two day's after I found out what it was, and two days after she contracted it. Her eye is looking much better so I plan on feeding them Syringe's of water full of Electryolyes, Calcium, and Mixed Vitamins including Beta Cartone though I'm not sure it can replace Vitamin A though it is known to be a good replacement because Vitamin A is toxic in high levels. Besides Syringe - Feeding, and Gut loading are there any other suggestion on how I should feed/ get this in to their system's, and is there any thing additional I should do for Neo. I've also heard about some saline/ salt water solution that help's with the eyes but I don't want to make things worse. Please comment, and give suggestions.
One last thing. Achilles has had shed on left eye for 10 Day's now that I attempt to get off every day by getting the inner eye moist though it's stuck on to his eye and eye Crust and gunk is beginning to form around it, and it shouldn't be long before an infection gets on to him. I'm not going to let it happen to him because I will take him to a Vet if needed ( I talked to a former GT member named Landen who hooked me up with a few vets, and Ive done some research in my area ) though is there any way to take it off with out messing with the Pupil. And how do I get his eye open. Before I shook him around slightly so he would think he's falling so he had the urge to open both eye's but now that only opens the right eye which is much better then the left but also has some really small shed pieces on the edge's that occasionally bother him. Please comment, and read this guys
Thanks!
