leopard geckos with eye problems.

[geckofreak]

at the pet store i just started working at some of the leos have eye problems. it seems that its from shedding, because there is built up skin there. it seems like they don't even have eyes.. there are about five out of the fifty that are like this, they are on repti carpet, have water bowls, and moist huts. what could the problem be? some seem to be doing okay, and others are very malneurished looking. but they all have the closed eyes in common. i think the owner is going to give them to me to try and save. is there anything i could do to help them?

Get some saline solution at a drugstore, walmart, target, where ever. Try to flush it out. If you can flush the stuck shed out then they can easily be saved. Once you get the shed out of their eyes, keep an eye on them. If the eyes start to goop up, fog up, or whatever, then there's a good chance they're infected and need to be seen by a vet.

Hopefully it's just eye caps (stuck shed over the eyes) and no infections.
