I have a 1 year old male Nosy Be Panther that started developing an eye problem about 2 weeks ago. It started with him waking up and his right eye would be sealed shut from a clear liquid. I got some sterile eye wash and have been cleaning his eye every day for the last 14 days. Some days he wakes up and his eye is not sealed shut, other days it is. The condition does not seem to be worsening, yet does not seem to be improving either. I suspicioned a possible foreign eye irritant aka, something stuck in his eye, but after searching in his eyelid with a magnifying glass and light I can not locate anything of that nature. I also thought maybe conjunctivitis? Though he seems to not have any redness or even pinkness to his eye at all. He just keeps getting a clear build up and his eye opening has gone from being round to drooping in the center and a tad swollen on the edges. From the start of all of this I have noticed a very small nodule protruding out near the front part of his eye turret opening. This seems to be where the clear puss is coming from ( at least I think ). Could it be a sty? His other eye is just fine and he is eating and drinking great. Regardless of any input, I think it is vet time for the little dude this week. I just was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this or maybe have had a similar situation.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
