Current Problem - she is having an eye issue. It "glazes over" so she cannot close it. This started after her last clutch, so I figured she has excess dirt irritating it. This happened when I first brought her home, 1 warm showed took care of it. This time I have showered her twice so far. After a 20 minute shower her eye is clear and she seems very relieved. Both times it has glazed back over in apx 48 hours. She is still eating, drinking, pooping normally but she seems to be in distress.
