    Default Polypedates dennysi with eye irregularity

    I've had my frog for about a month now and he's been doing great. Due to the lack of info on these guys, I've been keeping him like a White's, but only bring my ambient daytime temp up to about 75 with basking underneath his UVB lamp at about 80. Humidity ranges between 50 and 80. He's about an inch long and eats 3-4 crickets a night. I switch between calcium w/o D3 and reptivite. He's very active at night and a lot of fun to watch. Tonight I've noticed that his left eye is looking slightly different than the right. The right pupil is nice, large and horizontal, but the left pupil is smaller and almost round. The left eye itself looks to be protruding slightly less than the right and the overall color of the left eye is darker than the right. If this was a gecko or snake, I'd think it was a retained shed. The nictitating membrane isn't up and both eyes react when he swallows/pulls in his eyes. There's no sign of inflammation or any drainage coming from it. He seems to see fine out of it judging from his leaps when I had him out to get a better look. I'm at a loss on this one: it doesn't look infected, I use paper towel so it's not a piece of substrate. Any ideas?

    handsome, but notice how the left eye doesn't come out as far as the right

    i just noticed that his left pupil does not dilate in the dark like it should.

    i'm going to start flushing it with saline once a day: it can't hurt.

    Just make sure the saline doesn't really touch his skin. If you have a vet they can actually give you drops better than saline. Not really sure what could be causing it. I would definitely watch it for infection.
