Current Problem – He is closing one eye I have been trying the shower and he likes it but I’m not sure its helping

thanks for all of your help i hope its something i am missing and i dont have to make the trip to the big V
 
100 watt basking bulb might be too much... make sure the basking temp doesn't go much past 92.... also if you have a fan on or an ac unit blowing air it might be irritating it
 
I used a touch of terramycin on a irritated eye after the shower didn't work and in 2 days had my guy back to normal and he stopped itching and blinking its like it never happened that medicine is great...but im not a vet just saying what worked for me
 
I dont have a pic at the moment and hes sleeping now but the eye looks good to me nothing has changed in appearance.
i think im going to the vet on sat morning because i think its been getting worse
 
Yes it dries out its only a 30 second mist do u think I should make it a longer mist with more time between mists?
 
terramycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and should be used for a certain time period in order to knock out a population of bacteria, be careful when self medicating because you could potentially set up a resistant strain in your cham. Hope the vet solves the prob for you. Good luck
