RE: skin problem or more?

Thanks Jason, I have had her in heat 24/7 since I bought her about 5 weeks ago. When I started her on Fortum for the RI I bumped the heat up from 28 (max) to 31 (max) for the Fortum to do its job.

I am thinking maybe the humidity was too great. I placed her water bowl under the heat source a little over a week ago when I noticed her eyes were milky, getting ready to shed. I don't have a hygrometer in there but maybe the increased heat and close water source made a little too much humidity? I have since moved the water bowl to the other end and lowered the heat a little, seeing she had her last Fortum injection on the 23rd and it should be through her now.

I just got some Iodine spray (skin & wound dressing) and will apply that followed by some Silvazine ointment and see how she goes.

Thanks
Shane
