Hello everyone:w00t
I hope someone can help
I have three baby red european squirrels. Now they're about 5 weeks old, opened their eyes last week, i had them since they we're about ten days old. Their doing good getting bigger and bigger everyday
However they all seem to have one of their eyes glued together when i wake them to feed from time to time. I usually just pat them with a wet q-tip and then they open it.
Yesterday i noticed one of the boys kept scratching near the itchy eye with his paws and in the morning this eye became a little bit cloudy with a tiny scratch if you look really closely and he doesn't close it simultaniusly with the other eye.
What should i do? should i give him some drops or maybe cream for eye infections??
i'm afraid he might go blind
i put a little gauze over the eye so he would't scratch it further
I will try to post some pictures
