Default Leo dilema

One of my leos for the last 1-2 weeks for some reason isnt opening either of his eyes, his weight had reached 80g at one time and i knew it would go down as the seasons are changing but he is now at 59g and is losing weight fast, i'm really worried about him, i cant see anything in the eyes there is no discharge, from what i can see it all looks normal, i've bathed them just with water but this hasnt made a difference. If hes not go his eyes open then he cant see his food, thats why i think he's losing his weight, could anyone help please???,

Many thanks,


Ben.M

Vet a.s.a.p. before he loses anymore weight. He may have unshed skin stuck or an infection in his eyes.

Vets as soon as possible ~ losing that much weight is not normal nor healthy.
