Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
My 3 month old panther sheed fast, in one hour or two, but this time on his right eye skin remained, and there is some buldge on the left eye after sheeding. I am trying to drop some phisiological saline on his eye, but it's not helping. What can I do. Last sheed before this also caused different eye problem,and I used gentamicin drops to avoid infection, but new sheeding brought new problem.
I would really appreciate any help. In my country there are no reptile vets, so I have no posibility to get some medical help. I am depending from you guys![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
