why is my leopard geckos eye swollen?
her right eye was swollen at first but she could still see and had it open and i thought maybe she had some stuck shed or maybe an infection or something soo i went to the store and bought some disinfectant saline solution and put it in her eye and she opened it up more when i put it in her eye and she looked more comfortable. i would put the solution in her eye everyday or every other day but then her eye got more swollen and it closed then she shed and she opened it for about a day and i put more solution then the next day it was closed again. I cant put saline solution cuz her eye is closed. What is wrong with her? I gave her warm water soaks to! I read that her pores in her eye may be clogged and you can put vegetable oil around her eye lid to make the skin moist and unclog the pore but i dont no if my oil is good to do that. i dont have the money to take her to the vet right now! any tips! plzzz i need help!

If you dont have the money to take a tiny leopard gecko to a vet, you shouldnt own it, just saying...
Obviously her eye is shutting more and more after you put this stuff on it, whats the make/name of it? and whats it for..?
Take the gecko to a reptile store and ask for advice IF you cant afford a vet, and if not and you love your pet, goto a vet. tat specializes in reptiles.
Its obviously not going to get any better with this solution stuff, so you must do something to put her out of her misery, as a gecko it needs its eyes to see in the dark. when they hunt..
Get her seen asap
