Hello,
A week or so ago my leopard gecko was having a hard time getting his shedding off his head( he always seems to have trouble with just that area). His tank is usually very moist when I notice that hes about to start shedding and he has a moist hidey hole. I took him out of his tank and put him in a smaller container with some warm paper towels to help with his shedding. As I had been helping him work the shedding off something had startled him and he jerked back and ripped it all off. I didnt think it was a bad thing so I fed him some meal worms and put him back in his tank. I noticed a few days after that hes acting oddly and I took him out and noticedd he isnt opening his right eye very much and when he does it looks almost completely black instead of seeing his silver pupil outline or whatever its called. He is constantly out now and laying around, and wouldnt eat until today when I tried to give him another meal worm and he couldnt find it but would get scaredd when i tried to give it directly to him. He eventually caught it, after many off target attempts. Im pretty sure its his eye at this point and I was wondering if theres anything I can do for my little guy. Please let me know
Thank you!
