Sick Water Dragon
I have been having a heck of a time finding a vet that knows how to care for lizards. My dragon had an eye infection, I got some eye drops for it and it got better but then within two days after seeming to be completely healed (while still using drops to make sure) his eyes closed and I have not seen them open in about two weeks. There does not seem to be any infection left, he just won't open them, I'm thinking perhaps he's gone blind. More importantly though, he had a mouth infection at one point which I healed with antibiotics (from banging his snout on the glass which now has chicken wire over it to stop that), the mouth infection has reappeared and flared up extremely quickly at the same time as the eye problem started again. He has not been eating and is getting very skinny, my son pointed out that he has not shed in almost a month. He still seems relatively active at times but not like usual. I just don't know what to do for him as there does not seem to be a vet willing to take him, though I am still calling around trying to find one.
