Injured Uro

I jsut got back home. I had someone taking care of my pets. My uromastyx appears to have an eye injury. If its both of them, should I put him down, or try to keep him as a blind pet. Any suggetsions?

Hello

Hello,

Well, you should take him to the vet first, to try & determine the extent of the injuries. Do you know what happened by any chance? Sorry to hear that!
That is a very hard call, as he could still have a good life with only 1 eye, but I don't know about having no sight at all. I have never been in that position.

This is the only time I have had somethign like this happen. I took him to the vet we decided to euthnze him. He some how injused one eye, and it bled over to the other and sad clumped onto that eye. Im not sure on what all happened, but I couldnt let him suffer so we euthanized him with gas...

Hello

Hello,

Geez, I am so sorry about your Uro. That is horrible. Are you going to talk to the people who kept or watched him while you gone?
Sorry you came home to that.

I was only gone over night. THey said they saw him this morning and he was ok. I think he nmay have been injured on somethign in the cage. Maybe they grapewood branch (or what ever it is) maybe the rock. I think he may have hit his eye trying to dive under teh rock when someone came in the room. This is my first time to go through something like this, and it... I dont know how to put it, it was horrible. I have never seen a animal injured like this...

At some point I want to get another uro. I have new ideas for the cage. I will get rid of tghe natual rock adn find something else for him to climb on to her closer to the light. Anyone want to give me some ideas?

Hello

Hello,

That is just terrible, I am sorry you had to see that & I hope he didn't suffer for too long.
What kind of natural rock do you have in there? Something must have really scared him though for him to have hurt himself to that point.
I will do some thinking on that for you.

Hello

Hello,

Hm, hard to tell from the pic. It kind of looks like a Mali. A very young one.
Are you thinking of taking it in?
