I have experienced a new eye issue with my female panther as of 2 days ago and it is beginning to worry me. Her left eye is bloated (looks identical as if there is something in her eye).
However, she does NOT scratch/"pop" the eye at all. Also, she opens/closes it comfortably and "seeks" with her eyes when she eats. Her behavior is otherwise completely normal (no sleeping during the day; eyes open, including the bloated one; very active; eating normally).
I am concerned it may be an infection of some kind as it doesn't seem to be anything "in" her eye.
Video of her eye problem: (youtube defaults to low quality, but the video is in high quality; make sure to increase the stream rate in the bottom right of the player)

Treatments I have tried:
-Excessive misting (I've had the misters in her setup going for roughly 30min 2 times a day)
-Terramycin (seemed to just annoy her since there isn't anything in her eye as I thought it would but I tried it anyway)
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Female panther, 15 months old
Fecal Description - normal
History - never laid, doesn't seem to be fattening up.
Shares her setup with our disabled Jackson's; they are free to come out but they rarely ever do.
Cage Info:

Any info helpful; seems like a vet trip is coming up
