i have just tryed mite spray on my bearded dragon and didn't know where the hole was and accendenly sprayed it into to dexters eye!:( she frequently opens it and closes it... it does not say anything on the bottle for this! please help?!! im begging
 
Definetely try to wash it out straight away in warm water, a good way can be to get a clean syringe (obviously without a needle), lie her on her side and wash it directly into the eye, then let her blink it out for a bit.

What chemicals are in the bottle, because if you want, I can try to look them up for you. I'm a wildlife vet nurse currently halfway through studying veterinary science, and I have a bunch of textbooks lying around here that might have something helpful in them.

If the eye does become red and look inflamed, or the dragon seems to be looking ill, then she'll need to see the vet. Unfortunately the eyes have a good blood supply, and things that go into them often become systemic. Washing it all out should help, however, and it's probably what the vet would do, unless there's a chemical in there that can do systemic damage.

Good luck! Hope she gets better soon, and don't stress too much. It was an accident, and there's a pretty good chance she'll be fine.

that you so much.. i'll see how she goes tommorow and if she has recovered i'll just leave her if not i'll take her straight to the vet...
 
good luck next time spray it on a cotton ball or cloth and wipe on to the around the head and neck makes it easy that way
 
One should also ask... why weren't you more careful, and even more fundamentally - did your dragon actually have mites, and if not, was it a 'precautionary' measure?

Yes, mightn't have been the smartest move but I'm sure he feels guilty enough already without that. Don't chase people off the forums. Everybody makes mistakes and they won't ask for help if they know they are going to get gunned down every time. I'm sure its better for the animals as well if they have informed people suggesting advice to people who are brave enough to ask for help which won't happen if they are afraid to ask.
 
How is the dragon going today? Is the eye ok?
Hope everything's alright!

When Jamie (Pythoninfinite) was 13 years old they didn't have spray cans. Old fellas can get a little intolerant at times!
