Eye problem
i have a male panther. i cant get a picture because his eye is closed. i noticed that he closes it because it looks like he has an eye ( booger ) aka sleep like a dog or humans get. he can open it and see me but i think it is bothering him. does anyone have any suggestions on how to help him
thanks jeremy

Eye advise.........
I would get to the vet too. In the interim give the cham a warm shower and use a moist Q-tip to GENTLY remove the goo from the corner of the eye. Touch the goo or skin and not the eye directly. Doing this now will also help because you will be able to tell the vet whether more goo comes back or not. This will help the vet gauge the degree of infection. Eye issues usually don't go away on their own. Chams like to rub their irratated eyes and make the situation worse. If you are going to the vet with this cham for the first time, take a fecal sample in and get it checked. It's a good opportunity to rule out any parasite issue whether it has anything to due with the eye or not. Let us know what happens....
