Eye cleaner

[Sticktongue]

Fredo has been keeping one eye closed every once in a while during the day. He is healthy, gaining weight, more color and aggressive to his food. I just think he has something in his eye bothering him. I've tried a warm long shower but it didn't help. Are their any other ways to clean it out?

in my experience usually is not something that he has in his eye bothering him that you can just take out.... otherwise it would've been gone long time ago... what i suggest is taking him to a vet he can give you proper meds to apply on his eye before it starts to get worse hopefully he will get well soon gl with that

Good luck getting your Cham to keep his eye open while you drop any drops into it. I found it was better to fill a spray bottle up with luke warm water and take your Cham outside and place him on a tree and mist the heck out of him and whatever debris is in the eye will usually get flushed out this way. Well it worked for Ozzie

We had a vet visit two weeks ago for a fecal and check up and he was healthy.

I'll try the spray bottle tomorrow after work.

Sorry i thought i attached this to my first post

• lacement – In my room. No traffic besides me once or twice in the evening. Top of the cage is 6 feet high. No open vents near.
• Location - Utah
Current Problem – Fredo has been having orange ish urates for the last few weeks so I bumped his water up a bit. Stayed the same but he really does not look dehydrated. Eyes are full. He was sleeping a little bit before night time the last two weeks. I took him to the vet and there are no parasites and he passed his physical. He suggested getting him out in the sun an hour a day after work and he couldn’t figure out anything wrong.
So a week later he gained weight, 56 grams at the vet, now he is 62. But the last couple days his urates got lighter color (closer to white than before) and now he just has one eye closed sometimes. Quite a bit this evening since I got home from work. I put him in a warm shower to see if it would help but didn’t do anything.
We really don’t have any great reptile vets around here so I thought I’d see if you guys have any suggestions since my last vet trip got me zero information besides no parasites.

suggestions/questions

1. if your humidity is staying low for long periods throughout the day. provide a humidifier in the room near the cage.

absolutely no draft on him?

2. try a warm shower chamber for 30 minutes or so.

3. this is not for the current problem. his basking temps needs to be 90*.

pics?
