Here are some photos of Olive's eye. It looks probably worse than what it is. I am using a saline solution to keep it clean twice a day.

Update: Olive's eye is looking a lot better. While not completely open, it is no longer red and is def progressing.
Taking my leopard gecko to the vet tomorrow, will let you guys know how that goes.

Bad, bad news everyone.
Gale has lost 20 grams. The vet thinks it might be Cryptosporidium (crypto) which is very bad. We sent a fecal sample to test.
Crypto is very bad...and contagious. Even if the gecko survies it, it never goes away and requires daily medicine and care for the rest of thier lives.
Here is an sheet written by my vet (He is qualified as AZ ONLY specialist in reptile care by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners) and will have an article published about crypto later this year.

If you read it, you will understand why I am worried.
Right now we have her on Enroflaxacin and Ronidazole to help fight any bacterial/protozoa parasites there might be as well, ad well as liquid calcium glubionate.
She is also on a liquid diet. Please keep Gale and I in your thoughts that the test comes negative and she recovers.

Congrats on the fosters! They are cute 
So sorry about Gale though. Crypto is nasty, I hope she tests negative for it.

Bunny update: I have moved the fosters into the bunny room. It has gone well, Kinobe gets mad at Savannah if she checks out the boys, but other than that they are okay.

Okay, I have some updates.
First, I have bad news. Both of my kingsnakes have passed away. They died because of bad feeders-the frozen mouse was either sick when it was killed, or was frozen unproperly. My corn didn't eat that day, and he is still alive, and the conclusion my vet and I have come up with is the feeders where bad. A fecal test was given to the corn and it came back negative for any problems. I did get the feeders from a new store too. I contacted the store, and they said they would check their stock and offerd me some store credit; but it just isn't the same obviously. It really is sad that someone could be so reckless when they have lives at stake-but often that is how it goes in reptiles. I was extremley upset..after gale it just doesn't seem fair.
Then, I have adopted 4 hamsters. Yes, 4. Story is, I adopted the first, Noodle, a Robo hamster, from the Humane Society on a Saturday. They have been overwhelmed with animals, and had been calling me. So I said yes.
Here is noodle:
Then THE VERY next day, a vet clinic called and told me they had 3 diabetic brothers who nobody (rescue organization or otherwise) would take in, and they would have to be put down. Well, I couldn't say no. So here is Sugar, Maple, and Syrup
Hamsters can still live a long time with diabetes. It just takes a special diet, and weekly testing of the urine. Just a little time and effort, which unfortunatly, not many people want to give.
Then I have a short term foster for my rabbit rescue, Ariel. She got spayed and developed a hernia which was fixed two weeks ago. Then she got a jaw abcess and has stopped eating. So I am taking her in for the next two weeks for some TLC. She is on metcam, proviable, and critical care syringe feeding. She has lost weight, but she ate pellets last night which is a good sign. This is the photo from the resuce, tomorrow I will have to post personal pictures
So now I am at 3 fosters, 1 cat, and 18 exotics!
The other two foster bunnies, Hopi and Pima, are doing very well. At 6 years old, they are much more relaxed and easy going. The tilt is still about the same.
Everybody else is doing great!

Ungh, so sorry about your snake. We had an issue with bad feeders recently too - we were using up the last of our frozen, and the fuzzies must have had something wrong with it, because two snakes regurgitated them, the one who didn't died, and the two who regurged needed to go on antibiotics after developing really foul-smelling, bright green feces (which is often a sign of salmonella) and losing weight. We lost a GORGEOUS Argentine boa baby, tres upsetting. So glad all future feeders will be raised here under stringent care conditions and pre-killed fresh from now on.
Also glad to hear about the no crypto diagnosis. Having dealt with it once was dealing with it too many times. I hope your gecko is feeling better asap.

Yeah, it was really upsetting and the gale, the leopard gecko, actually passed away her cagemate is still living though.
I have some updates on Ariel. She went into surgery, and it was worse than they thought. It extends under her chin to the other side. A tooth was removed. She is eating, but still a little rough.

UPDATES:
Ariel is healing very well. She is even eating fresh greens, although not so much hay.
She is also 100% litterboxed trained!
However, she has developed a wound on her right hip that got progressively worse:
I take her in the vet tomorrow.
Right now the bunny room is split in half, but I may split the other foster's (Hopi and Pima) so she can stay a bit longer if I need to take in Kitten (Another foster with medical issues)

I should update!
Fosters:
Ariel just went back to surgery today to get the teeth completely removed. She did very well and is now relaxing
I've got big news about Hopi...HE'S UPRIGHT! That's right! The tilt bunny is tilt no more! This was about 3 weeks ago. Very happy about it!
I've actually adopted a nother bunny, Clover. I am in the process of trying to bond her with Chewy/Anakin. She got bit on the lip from a a nip from Anakin, so last week I took a break. This week we start up again.
But she is a keeper regardless..she is a lap bunny. She will sit and watch TV and give me kisses all night! Absolutely in love with her!
Everybody else is well. Wyatt is doing great, the reptiles are good, and the hamsters are good and Maple, Sugar, and Syrup are all good on their blood sugar levels.
