Cy-2013 Rescued Boa

Well Cy went to the vet yesterday. The good news is as of right now, Cy doesn't need surgery to remove his eye (yay!). The vet thinks as long as I keep it clean, it will eventually scar over. He suggested flushing it with saline to keep it from getting crusty, and using topical whenever he rubs his eye cap off (which is frequently).

He also said otherwise he's in great health. He's doubled in weight since I brought him in last time. The vet also checked his mouth and respiration and said he looks great. Cy does have a head tilt, but the vet thinks it's because of not being able to see out of his right eye. Cy will tilt his head to get a better look at you with his good eye.

The vet warned me about IBD, he said I should be aware of it and Cy does have his head tilt. But he also said that he's seen snakes with IBD live long lives without problems. He didn't feel a need to test Cy since I have no other boas or pythons.
 
Some updates on Cy. His eye is looking so much better. He shed a week ago and is growing so fast! He's just gorgeous

Thank you so much!

He has been an absolute joy. He's so easy going and curious. He does get really cranky around shed time but otherwise he's so sweet.
 
He's very pretty. Without the eye problem he would be too perfect. Kinda like Brad Pitt. lol The eye grounds him.

Imagine how connected he will be with you from raising him through it. They are timid enough, without having a vision problem. Kudos for taking him in.
