Lighting - Tube 5.0 and heat light
Humidity - ??
Plants - one scheffella
Placement - in my room with no other chams, I moved her awhile back to the cham room but she was stressed so I moved her back
Location - no traffic Had fan going

Current Problem - At first she was closing her left eye so I treated with Terrimyicin seemed to help and then her Right eye was shut so I treated that one and it hasn't helped actually it's worse now. I realized I shouldn't have a fan on in my room so stopped that and put a humidifier in my room. She is still eating and drinking but keeps her right eye shut most of the day. She will open it when I hold her but keeps trying to clear something from it. It does seem swollen. I will make her a vet appt. on Tuesday because this has been going on now for Two weeks. Of course I decide to take her on a Sunday with the following Monday being a holiday. Any thoughts in advance would be appreciated!

Sounds like you are doing the right thing. She may have something stuck and irritating it. I have had some sucess with the spray saline to help get stuck irritants out. It comes in a can and makes a good stream of saline.
How often were you applying the Terramycin?

 

[sarah777]

I'm applying it twice a day. When I woke up this morning the left is now closed again. Poor little girl

What brand of supplements do you use?
What do you gutload with?
What are mega worms?
Have you considered buying a little digital humidity guage?

A rinse with saline cant hurt and may indeed be very helpful

 

[sarah777]

I use Rep-Cal and ZooMed are the brands.
I gutload with fresh fruits and veggies and wheat bread.
I think they are actually super worms (the really big guys).
Yes I really should get the humidity gauge.
I will get some saline today and try.
