The poor lil' guy has a swollen eye turret. I noticed it Friday and have gently misted the turret and today used a swab to see if there was noticeable debris. There is a local vet that has some but limited exp w/ reps. My herp vet is an hour so. so if it can be readily resolved with out the full-monti trip, that would be great. I have searched the forum and have seen anything from debris - infection. There does not appear to be any drainage. I have thought about using an over the counter optical solution to flush but don't know if this is such a good idea. I should be able to get the lil' guy in locally by tomorrow but need to know what I should be looking out for, in the event I need to make the trip south. Any words of wisdom or advice is welcomed.
