ryanjury Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I noticed a little white mark on this guys eye, presumed he had smashed into a rock and then overnight it grew into this, it looks like pop eye from the pics but it actually appears to be something on top of the eye as opposed to something building up behind the eye and pushing it out.. Anyone have any idea what I can do for him? Sorry about the bad pics hes not very photogenic. Thanks for any help anyone can suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I would say there is a good chance he has nicked it on an object or been hit there by another fish. Infection has set in there too. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 There is nothing you can do. The eye has been damaged physically. The eye may grow out. Just keep your water clean. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandWilly Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 add salt to the water, we had our giraffe do that, meth blue can work to catch him if you can and apply a drop to his eye, we done the meth blue on the first day and then salted the water and cleared up in a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 i Used melafix on my trpheous when this happened and it got better. I would also do more waterchanges but remember to add more melafix for the water you take out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Sweet thanks for everyones help I have added salt and done more water changes the tank was getting 10% every second day anyway as it was in a grow out tank so the water should have been pretty good must have been a random thing.. I also put meth straight onto it when i first noticed it didn't seem to do anything for him.. The swelling or infection has gone down but the eye is still white I guess only time will tell if hes blind for good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
