Bad eyes...

My chinchilla has always had bad eyes we have tried taking her to the vets and getting drops, but nothing seems to make a difference! I have tried putting something in her sand bath which a breeder sugested and it helped a little bit, but then her feet started to go really dry and crusty. i have now changed her bedding from wood shavings to a cardbord bedding, and no change.

Does anyone have and sugestions?

By bad eyes what exactly do you mean?
Is the fur damp around the eye?
