If it is an infection and is hopefully easily manageable with the help of your vet you may want to use a more "bark" substrate if your using more of a soil. I know the kind with the cocnut fibers is pretty popular. When I first started I used that type of substrate and my water dragon soon had a swollen eye. After lots of observation I found during his digging habits he was getting that dirt in his eye and large amounts of it. Luckily I caught it very early and avoided an infection but it took about 3 days of me flushing his eye with saline and wiping the dirt out several times a day. After that i have switched to a bark type substrate and have no more issues and maintain the same humidity. I hope all will be well. PLease keep us posted on the wellness of your baby.Mon, 31 Aug 2009 06:31:37 GMTlizardlovinggirlhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxI dont know if reptiles can get TINU but if possible thats what it is belive me I hadit but am being cured.Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:20:00 GMTLord of the Frogshttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxWhat is the bedding?Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:44:22 GMTthe herptile masterhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxA prognosis is something your vet will be able to give after the diagnosis has been made. It all depends on what is actually wrong, how bad it is, and how well he responds to treatmentThu, 22 Jan 2009 09:32:05 GMTMimhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxthe main thought here is that his eye is infected and needs treatment as long as the infection stays in his eye and clears up and as long as that is whats wrong with him he SHOULD come out of this alright hopefully with full use of his eyeThu, 22 Jan 2009 00:03:27 GMTSPhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxKthx for letting me know there is a reptile vet that deals with lizards in my city so im going to make an appointment do you think he will die<BR>?Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:24:05 GMTlesshttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxHe needs to go to the vet asap - this condition should not have been allowed to go on this long, eyes are very sensitive, and can be permanantly damged in a short amount of time.</P><P>Check <A href="http://www.herpvetconnection.com">www.herpvetconnection.com</A> and <A href="http://www.arav.org">www.arav.org</A> for reptile vets in your general area, bear in mind that you may not need to find a vet that is as close as you would like, because reptile vets ar less common than small animal vets. Often you will have to drive a ways to find a vet, so look for vets in the surrounding area, not just your town.Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:51:39 GMTMimhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxIf you type "lizard eye" into the search bar at the top of the page, you'll see many of our articles about the possible causes of this.</P><P>But, any way you look at it, you should take it to a vet.</P><P>R.M.Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:37:23 GMTReptileChannel Moderatorhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic85568-6-1.aspxYes, he needs to go to a veterinarian. He may have an infection.</P><P>It'll also be important to take a look at all aspects of his care, from food to housing to heat.
