eye infections

[smokejunky]

I was cleaning cages and feeding the dragons and noticed that mushus eye was matted shut. His other eye is fine no eating problems so I grabbed a qtip and put warm water cleaned all the crude out.so is there anything I could buy at petco or online for like an infection or just keep an eye on it and keep cleaning it out?

Hi, sorry there is not. A vet will be your only option here unless you wanted to shot gun it with terramycin. Which you can buy at lllreptile. I dont recommend treating it blindly unless it is your only option.

It is important to treat the eye and it is just as important to find the source.

Is this a new dragon?
Does he have a new uvb bulb? If so, what kind?
How long has he been under the one he is under now?
Whats the humidity in the cage?
Hows the appetite?
Any ideas on what you think might be the cause?

Yeah I heard about terramycin a retired vet tech told me about it and said thats what a vet will give him for it.

Weve had him for about 3 months now
Yes a zilla thats all petco sells t8 desert the bulbs only 3 months old
Should be almost none I dont have a humidity meter but its super dry in montana and our house.
Its great no drop what so ever.
No our others r fine so we have no idea
