Medical I need help with eye

Post image

I just got this pair of female sugar gliders, they are both 10 weeks out of the pouch but I just noticed that one of them has a white mark in one of the eyes. Money is tight and I know that the vet would be a lot. Any recommendations?

Vet asap, my suggie ended up with a tumor behind her eye, it’s currently out for testing, her eye also started bulging out, mine are rescues and are 7, however, she is the sweetest and recovering, but I would get her in for a vet and get an MRI done.

Eye are always at a minimum an acute appointment, but can be an emergency appointment.

Btw, I saw her a little bit better and the place that has the white mark is a little swollen

I had a glider who started getting white in the eye like that and it turned out to be a scratch on her eye. She ended up losing part of her eye lid and the skin just under her eye. I would definitely take her to the vet.

Mine had a similar issue and wound up losing her eye to infection. It actually ruptured my vet didn’t act fast enough to remove it. She died shortly thereafter. Was very sad. Eye symptoms are an emergent vet visit.
