Sick Red Eye. Please Help!!!!

It does seem to be a cyst of some sort. I hope you can contact the vet and find out what is wrong soon!

We were very lucky to find an amphibian veterinarian who had an open appointment this morning, Dr. John Green at Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital. After looking at the frog he believes she injured herself somehow & her iris is now sticking out through her cornea. The area has sealed itself to the eye. He does not believe he could push the area back into the eye and then stitch it because it would require such small stitches and delicate work. He recommends we wait to see how the area is healing and has given us tobramycin ophthalmic solution USP 0.3% to drop in her eye twice a day for two weeks to prevent infection. She is very lively and has been acting normal. She ate two gut loaded crickets last night in the isolation tank. Dr. Green said we can return her to the normal habitat so she is back under her favorite leaf relaxing after the very stressful morning.
Dr. Frye also was very kind to respond to my email so quickly. I will be stocking up on some medications from him for our first aide kit!!

Thats no good. I am glad that you got to take it to the vet to get treatment. Once it is healed though she should be nice and happy I hope she heals fast!

I am so happy I found Dr. John Green - My red eye has been doing amazing. You can hardly tell the eye was injured! Thank you to everyone for your advice that very stressful night!

Wonderful Julia! I just re-read this thread the other day and meant to ask how things were going. I'm glad to see the healing has gone so well!
