For all that have been watching this thread closely; here's an update.
This guy is a fighter.
He was on Fortaz (100mg/ml) medication for five 0.03ml injections every 48 hours and he has shown great improvement. Last injection was administered on June 27th; left eye was observed to be open more frequently, right eye had always been open. Activity level had increased during and following Fortaz medication and has been hunting silkworms, crickets without missing with this tongue using only the right eye while the left eye is kept closed.
Since then, he started to show lower activity levels, still closed left eye, and an obsessive cleaning/bulging action on the right eye. The right eye shows swelling around the ocular opening around the edges. His appetite level is surprisingly very high; eating as much as ten 3/4 inch crickets for two consecutive days (yesterday and today). The left eye; when it is open, shows a cataract like layer and is white. He seems to respond to light when the eye is open. Today, the vet was contacted and given a description of symptoms. Aegean was prescribed Zosyn (Piperacillin) (450mg/ml) to be administered five 0.04ml injections every 48 hours. The first shot was administered today in the muscle tissue of the upper right arm.
He has an appointment with the on July 24th for a check up and a possible eye cleaning pseudo-surgery. Vet will be performing the surgery under general anesthesia.
I'll be posting photos tomorrow of him showing his condition.
Thank you all for the support,
V
