My female Jackson's right eye is swollen more then 3 times it's normal size and she is dehydrated ... Though I am currently at the vets office geting her checked ( the vet had to go look up info on chams) I was wondering if any body had info that will help me. Please and thank you!

When my male jackson had they problem.. my exotic vet said he had a vitamin a deficiency.. and she gave him a shot of vitamin a and we also go him on some antibiotics because she found alittle bacteria when she flushed out his eye.. but it was mostly fluid retained in his eye tissue and it all happened after he rubbed his itchy eye on the branch.. it cost a pretty penny but it was so worth it! I hope yours is ok! and that's always sketchy when the vet has to look it up on the internet.. =\

The dehydration is from her not eating or drinking today . Yeah I'm worried about her with that vet but only one available at this time >_<

Severely swollen eyes are sometimes a symptom of a sinus infection...I hope you're vet checked for that.
