I am taking her to the vet today, I've done everything I could do for her and she doesn't seem any better. It looks as though she has photo-kerato-conjunctivitis. :| I feel like a horrible owner for not already knowing that...<br>Anyways, I hope nothing else major shows up...:(

  • You're not a horrible owner. Atleast you took her to the vet.

  • Basically all I was told to do was change the bedding, so I put a towel at the bottom-it's softer and she can't eat it. O.o xD<br>Let her out in natural sunlight until she heals. and rinse her eyes out.<br>So I did all that today, and her eyes opened! :D <br>Now I can see her nictitating eyelid, she still hasn't eaten anything today though. :(<br>But, she's active running around in her cage, and she is drinking water so I know she won't get dehydrated, I am also still using that Vita-Spray which seems to be helping her.<br>I am taking her back to the vet Monday if she still isn't taking to food, for now I have to force feed so she doesn't starve.
  • Ah. Force feeding is where I come in handy. Get an eyedropper, fill with water, put a drop or two on her nose. There's her water. Now, get a cricket or mealworm, and a pen. USe the back of the pen to crush the mealworm or cricket. It's disgusting, but, see the stuff spilling out? You need alot of that. Put the guts in the eyedropper, put on her nose, do the same.

  • I've been using a cotton ball for the water, I soke up some water and I just drop a few drops on the tip of her mouth and she's drinking it, and I keep giving her water to keep her mouth open and pop a little worm in and that works. xD<br>But, I like your idea better..it takes forever for her to get her mouth open big enough. D:
  • It makes them feel better too. I don't force mine to eat live stuff when they're sick. : D
