Re: help northern BTS eye imflammation?
That looks like an irritation to the nictitating membrane rather than the actual eyeball. It could be caused by a foreign body such as a small particle of substrate being trapped between the membrane and eye. Might be best to have a vet take a look in case there is something in there that could lead to a corneal ulcer.
