Eye parasites?

[doomiedee]

I got this little wolf the other day. Despite my best efforts the little guy didn't make it. In the short time I had it I noticed that one of its eyes had a worm like parasite wiggling around inside of it. I tired to get pics but my iPhone wouldn't focus in on the tiny parasite so I can't show any pics to help give a better idea. Has anyone ever seen this before and how can it be cured if possible?

It was an eye fluke. It can be treated with prazi.

Ok cool. How does it get inside of the eye? Borrowing its way in ?
