Leopard with an Eye Problem.....Help !.
I noticed yesterday that one of my female Leopards has developed an eye problem. She has a white spot in the centre of each eye .She now keeps them closed continually.I have begun treating her with an eye drop 'Genticin', given her concentrated Vitamin A and have begun bathing her in Reptoboost treated warm water.I have also quarantined her ,hand fed her, increased the humidity and given her a new Repti Glo 10 UVB.
I'm just wondering if any one has had a similar problem before , is it Conjunctivitus , an ulcer, or some other type of infection ?.Any help would be very much appreciated.Here are some photo's of the eyes........... |

I would take her straight to the vet, if its something that is treatable its better to do it sooner rather then later, if left it could end up being serious. Keep us posted

Hi Neddy, our regular vet is on holidays and as for the local vets, if it doesn't have a tail and milk coming out of it , they have neither a clue nor an interest.

Yeah, it looks like a bad eyeinfection! That white spot is like little "scar" on the eye; it´s usual even in chronical eyenifection too. Chloranphenicol is good, or another antibiotics-drops for an eyeinfection, but you need an description for that from your vet.
