lol hand feeding is a good way to help them out after an infection
keep him on the cat food until he shows an interest in other foods like crickets locusts or meal worms
Dont leave them in the viv with him over night though
how does the abcess seem has the swelling gone down at all?

hi,

yes swelling gone right down,almost straight away once it was drained and abcess clearing up nicely. almost gone,just little mark were vet must of cut open to drain.just waiting for him to open that eye? hopefully it'l be ok!
he looks like he'l be shedding soon, any day now.

he could be waiting for a shed wait until after he has shed and if he is still not opening his eye then get a moist cotton bud and wipe the eye.
It could be that when the vet was draining it something may have come in contact with his eye.

hi,

he did shed last night, wiped his eye with cotton and warm water and he opened it gonna carry on giving him cat food too til finished meds.

Try bathing the eye area again hun he could have a secondary infection in there
The cat food could be making him put on a little weight,
Try to wean him off of it and give him as much excersize as possible
If the eye is still not open but the end of the week take him back to the vets

hi,

looks like he's gonna be ok. he has been eating locust (catching them by himself!) so maybe not so bad after all. seems to be getting about more, more alert now. also noticed he has his eye open again:roll: i'l post some more pics soon

thanks again for all your help
