Toad Eye Problem. help? :(

Well, I can't say for certain wether or not he'll charge you, as I've never used his help before, but plenty of people here look to him for help, so perhaps he can just give you a diagnosis and some advice. I would imagine advice is free, but I heard you can buy medicines from him as well .

Those pictures... wow. It really was a good thing you took care of her, because she probably would've died, what with her flesh and what not exposed.

If her eye has a membrane that can cover it[voluntarily/involuntarily], then that could mean that something is messing with her eye and is irritating her or it could be slightly infected. My turtle actually has 2 membranes in addition to the normal one. One for above/out of the water use[the normal one], one to keep water from entering her eye and the white one to keep out foreign matter[which she also closes when she sleeps].

Perhaps something touched her there. I heard some feeders like Crickets, can bite a frog/toad, so perhaps that could be the cause [if you feed her crickets].

I'm not as savvy as I wish I was, so I hope someone with a better answer will come along .

okay thank you so much. yeah i was also thinking about the crickets. i think one may have hopped on her face and its spiky little leg may have pokes/scratched her eye. i'll email him and ask. thank again. i'll keep you updated. :3

okay, so yesterday i checked her and her eye was weeping a bit more of the clear-ish fluid and i noticed what looked like a small pin head sized blob of mucus in the bottom back corner of her eye. i used a folded paper towel to wipe at it and it was actually something stuck down inside the eyelid that was starting to work its way out from the fluid lubricating it. i wiped at it again and got it to move a tiny pit out (she had her eye pulled in but i could access the whatever it was in her eye, "thing") and i was able to get a hold of it with my finger nails and i pulled gently and out came what i found upon close examination to be a piece of a cricket's leg!!! O_O her eye seems to be doing a LOT better already. here's a pic of the piece of leg. you can see the blob at the end and that was all that was sticking out. i cant imagine how bad that must have hurt to have it all the way under her eyelid!!! D: im just glad its out!!!
