I have a 6 month old male veiled chameleon. I have only had him for about a month. About a week ago I noticed his right eye had been shut and I thought this was due to dehydration. I increased his mist and this seemed to help until about three days ago when both his eyes have been shut constantly and won’t seem to really open them when I mist him even. Yesterday I noticed he hadn’t moved from where he slept the night before and was darker in color and I knew something was really wrong. My room has been a little cooler so I left his lights on through the night and today he seemed much greener in color and was active more. Both his eyes are still shut today and he makes me nervous walking around he’s going to fall. He hasn’t eaten or drank in about 2 days but I have misted him and tried mouth feeding him water. I have made an appointment to see a vet but the earlier I can go is Monday!
His cage is 24” x 36” wire mesh so he can climb the sides.
He has a 10.0 UVB ZooMed Reptisun light which was recommended for young chameleons. He has a basking light as well. i have a water dripper in his cage as well and lots of vines to climb. I feed him crickets which are fed a fortified vitamin diet and dust them with D3 calcium powder about 2xs a month.
Im not sure what else to do but want to help him until I can make it to the vets on Monday! Any suggestions please?!
