I don't know how many (if any) or you recall, but before Juniors 'Forum Accident', I had posted up that I had been given a Blue Tongue Lizard that had a nasty eye injury (see pic in my gallery http://www.aussiepythons.com/module...lery&file=index&include=view_album.php&page=2 ).
Anyway, I took him to a (not very capable) supposed reptile vet, who turned out knowing pretty much diddly squat about reptiles. Anyway, he gave me homeopathic drops to try and enhance the Blueys natural healing process. I had to administer them orally three times a day :roll:
Anyway, his eye hasn't got any better. Then, I got up this morning to discover THE WEIRDEST THING. He was shedding, and I picked him up to check him out cause his eye injury looked very red. Well...to my complete amazement, his eye is back and perfectly fine :shock: :shock: :shock:
Amongst his shed skin was a ball of hard puss about the size of a medium grape (I **** you not). It had obviously been growing and pushing his eye way down below the socket. STUPID vet had told me that his eye was destroyed! The wound is a bit red, and still a little swollen, but all in all, it looks HEAPS better! I can hardly believe it! :shock:
I had actually phoned Wildcare yesterday to come and take him because I was feeling really badly about not being able to help him. Finances are average right now, and being strapped for a herp vet anyway, he wasn't getting proper care. But, they didn't turn up. So much for 'We'll send someone over right away', which I was told at 9am yesterday morning. Anyway, I'm not really a Bluey lover, and I know precisely s.f.a about them. I really would like to see him (or her) go to someone who can love and care for him appropriately. Would anyone like to take him?
