Eye deformity

[gezzmo]

i hatched a leo past week, and he has a deformity on his eyelids, looks like he only has a half lid on each eye, the problem is that today the lids are stuck together, the eyes are closing?? what can i do, there's something to put in his eyes?

I don't consider these eye deformities to be too severe that the gecko will be blind. As long as it can close it's eyes, it should be OK. If it looks like the eyelids are stuck, it could be due to an incomplete shed. You can try a wet Q-Tip and VERY GENTLY swab the eyelids win a rolling motion to see if they will open. If not, you might want to get your vet to give you some ophthalmic salve like Neo-Polydex or Gentamycin.

hi Marcia, thanks for your help, it's not skin, cause he didn´t made his first shed yet hehe
i washed his eyes with a q-tip and a NaCl solution and they open

she was born on day 11 and made the first shed today :S but i had to remove all the skin, cause she couldn't remove it by herself, she is so small, the smallest gecko i ever saw.
the lids are stuck again, i think she will not open the eyes again, i clean her eyes everyday with a q-tip and a NaCl solution, and they continue closed...
