It has really upset me tonight to find that my dwarf lion looks as though he is loosing his eye 
He had not been eating all that well lately but I didn't really think much of it. He ate maybe once a week. Tonight I noticed that his left eye is "collapsed", kind of sunken into its self. The best way I can describe it is that it looks as if the eye has been "popped" and the clear part of his eye is literally gone, leaving just his pupil exposed in the middle. The eye is very flat to his head now unlike the other eye which bulges out like normal. I don't know if this makes any sense but its the best I can describe until I can get pics. He is by himself in a 24G nano tank. The idea was to let him grow up there until he is big enough to live with the big boys. Hes quite large now at about 5 1/2" inches but I don't know anymore if he should move with this eye problem.
Any ideas? This just kind of happened overnight...
