just keep up the baths, keep the humidity up a bit, and give it a bit more time! you're doing good!

thanks i was getting kinda scared. it would be hard to find an eye patch for him if he were to lose that eye.

I can't say this enough: Everyone needs to buy the eye ointment and keep it on hand. It is a miracle drug.

Terramycin Antibiotic Opthalmic Ointment - Mfg'd by Pfizer

Its a very small tube and it costs around $11, but it is well worth it. Its good for any kind of eye problem...scratched eye, swollen due to Vit.a defficiency, shut due to lack of hydration...anything. It is very soothing to the eye and just absolutely works wonders!

You can buy it online, at a feed store or from the vet.
