Worried about pet store CWD

**Dudeamis** · #1 02-27-2006, 11:44 PM

A Chinese Water Dragon at my most local pet store has large puffy eyelids that look wet all the time. I was wondering what would cause this and can a visit to the vet help it out.

That sounds like what Leezard had after I got him home - it turned out to have something to do with the substrate. The vet recommended I use outdoor carpet instead of the T-Rex stuff and after a few eye washes and no more substrate he is all cleared up.

What type of substrate is he on? Sounds like hes got an eye infection to me..they have very sensitive eyes s ocant be put on certin substrates such as coconut fiber and that sort

it looks like the coconut shed. What would be a good eye wash?

the kind you get from the vet

eye infections are highly contagious so he should be quarritened

I'm pretty sure I got an eye infecton from Lee. I even remember the time I handled him then rubbed my eye as I walked to the bathroom to wash my hands. YUCK!!!
The vet gave us a "goose neck" bottle and we rinsed Lee's eye with Saline a couple times a day.

I'll swing by the store later on and pass on your expierenced knowledge and maybe get a photo of the poor critter (too small of an exclosure) HO CRAP that thunder was right overhead (we're having our annual thunderstorm today). Hopefully they'll take her to the vet... or she'll have to wait till I finish my big enclosure so Pez can have a place to stay while I nurse her back to health.

eye infections can turn serious fast, what pet store is it? i know petco and petsmart have vets that they bring there monsters to if u bug them enough

Its a mom and popish store, they have a nice looking, clean store and decent prices but I think the pets they sell don't have enough room. Well now that its stopped hailing off I go to eye spy.
