Fudge Eye

Question
Hi Sandra,
Hope your well. Over the last couple of days ive noticed something strange with Fudge eye. If i look down on her from above one of her eyes protrudes out more than the other. I didnt notice when i first got her but then i cant be sure if was already like that. The last few days she seems more nervous than normal and its usually a struggle to get her out for free range time. She is eating and drinking normally. Im now worried she has got something behind her eye

Thanks

Vicky

Answer
Hi Vicky

Isnt it always something?  Sheeeesh!!  Dont feel bad, your not alone. It must be the week for eyes because my Santana (the one missing the eye) well the eye socket is all puffed out about the size of a pea. He is on antibiotics now but we are thinking it is not infection but air is somehow getting in from his nose and leaking into his eye socket. Weird.

ANyhow, can you take a picture of it for me and send it to askcritterkeeper@yahoo.com?
