We had taken Rosie to the vet because she had one eye closed and was sitting with her mouth open. The vet flushed out her eye and gave us eye drops to give her. He said she looked very healthy and the drops should fix everything (she gets 1 drop twice a day for 10 days). He said if it got worse to call.
So since yesterday she has pretty much been "sleeping" though she is completely alert. Really, she just has both eyes closed. I'm so sad about this because I just spent $110 on her vet visit and have no idea what it would cost to go back. I feel so awful for her.
Humidity is between 50% and 60%. Temp is about 80, much warmer in the basking area. We have been feeding her phoenix worms (a guy at a reptile store highly recommended them) and silk worms (she did not want crickets for a while). We do a drip a few times a day plus mist to keep humidity up.
I'm just so absolutely sad about this. I want to do everything I can for her so she can live a long, healthy life. I read someone's comment on another thread about a Vitamin A deficiency - anyone else ever deal with that? What do you need to do to fix that? Any other food ideas? We do dust the food with a calcium supplement.
