Rhonda,this could be ringworm,
I would not touch the spot with my bare fingers It is
infectious.
Anywhere else it would be easy
to treat with 5 percent iodine in the form of a spray, so you don't have to
touch it.But close to the eye, I wouldn't use iodine. If Newman develops
other places, spray them four or five times a day until they go away, a week or
so. If it is ringworm, other animals can also get it.
There is no certainty that it
is ringworm, but precautions never hurt.

lots of fun.

Subject: [pyrnet] Question
Newman seems to have a bit of an eye irritation in one eye. Although
it doesn't seem swollen or overly red, nor does it SEEM to be "weepy", the
area under it is developing a patchy, dark look, as if from tearing. Has
anyone else's Pyr developed this and what can I do about it?
I'm sorry that I can't help
with this. I've not noticed either of mine having the same
condition. Good luck, take care and
