Axie eye misted over

[dae22000]

Hi all,

New to the site, and seeking some advice. Have three axies, all about a year old. My largest (Axle) has got something wrong with his left eye; it's misted over and has a white speck in it. Nothing in the other eye or on his body that I can see.

He's eating / moving fine and can follow my finger round the tank, so his other eye must be working. The other two axies are fine.

Thanks for your help, Lisa

PS - Sorry pics not great quality

Since only one eye is affected, that narrows down the possible causes. The only causes I can think of are injury/infection and some kind of random growth (tumor or cataract kind of thing). In either case, there isn't much you can do. Since the animal is normally active and eating, I don't think you should worry too much.

Sick axie

Thanks for that Jennewt. Have seperated him for the time being and got him in the fridge. Am treating him for anti slime and fungas infections, to see if either help. Fingers crossed
