WE GOT OUR CHAMELEON ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO. WE GOT HER AT A REPTILE SHOW. THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT READY TO BE SOLD. WE GOT VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW OLD SHE WAS. SHE WAS ABOUT AN INCH LONG, AND GIVEN TO US IN A VERY DIRTY CONTAINER. WE BOUGHT A NEW CONTAINER, AND PUT SOME LEAVES IN IT FOR HER. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS WE NOTICED THAT SHE WAS ITCHING HER EYE. WE GAVE HER A WARM SHOWER, WHICH DID NOT HELP. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. SHE CLOSES HER EYE ALOT, AND IT OFTEN LOOKS CLOUDY, WITH SOME REDNESS AROUND IT. SHE ALSO SLEEPS ALOT. IS THIS NORMAL? WE CALLED A LOCAL REPTILE VET, BUT THEY WERE NOT MUCH HELP. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ANTIBIOTICS FOR HER. WHAT ANTIBIOTICS SHOULD WE GET? WHERE? ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? ANY HELP WOULD BE USEFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! WILL SEND PICTURE IF NEEDED.
