Eye problems

[Bfrazi]

Woke up today and saw that my veiled appox 5months old had a weird gunk in his eye. I give him some water and he drank like crazy so thought it may have been a water problem. I mist 3 to 4 times daily and make sure he drinks. I came home to not just one eye but both eyes are gunked up. So I decided I would take him to the shower and we were in there for about 15 min. He loved it btw. I noticed the gunk was breaking up so I used a qtip and gently helped him out and managed to get it out. He instantly changed from dark brown to a vivid green color and i took him to his enclosure which is 18x18x36 cage humidity is at 60% temp is 83f he at a bunch of crickets with rep vitamins and hes currently doing good. Any ideas what is going in??

Oh and i noticed a white flap of skin under his leg looks like a piece of shed. My leos do that sometimes.

Anyway you can get a picture of the flap of skin? And possibly the gunk in his eye?

 

[Bfrazi]

Gunk in his eyes is gone now looked almost like an eye booger. Flap of skin is also gone now he must have rubbed it off.

Stuff in his eye was kinda clear if that helps

Alright, how long are your misting periods. And you stated he ate crickets with Rep Vitamins, is that all you dust them with?

 

[Bfrazi]

Misting goes for about 3-4minutes. I use calcium with feedings too. Every 2 weeks I use a little bit of the rep vitamins mixed with his calcium.

If I am wrong feel free to correct me.

That sounds good, is the calcium you're feeding him without d3?

 

[Bfrazi]

Yes

 

[Stone32]

Yes

That sounds good to me, also just dust with calcium and d3 twice a month as well, back to the eye, was he squinting at all and was there or is there a bump in between his eye and nose or head?

 

[Bfrazi]

The other day he was squinting and rubbing his eye on a branch

Could possibly be can eye or sinus infection, keep an eye on it and look for a small bump in between, if more gunk appears or anything along those lines a vet checkup may be needed.

 

[Bfrazi]

As far as i can tell there are no bumps hopefully this will clear itself out.

Good luck! Just keep humidity up and keep a close eye on him!

 

[Bfrazi]

Ok thank you!

Not so friendly though. Hes not drinking like he should though kinda concerned about that.
