Leon from Slovakia

[jasdesign]

This is my boy Leo or Leon, two and a half years old. He was shreding his left eye today. This month he was often rubing that eye againts glass or branches. Any ideas what could be the problem?

If he was shedding, he was probably just trying to remove the skin, or if he was rubbing before the shed, he could have been trying to break the shed to get it started.

If hes doing it after the skin is all gone, he could have something in his eye, in which case I suggest doing a super long misting so he can get water in there to clean it out.

Well, this problem with the rubing is lasting longer. Its just a coincidence that his eye was sheding today. I have tryed a long misting several times already. I have visited a vet and he tried to wash everything out of his eye with a solution. Nothing really helped. His vision is ok. I have a feeling that the problem lies in his eyedome, its kinda hardened if you compare it to the other one, and he cant even close it well.

That sounds like a possible infection, or that something is still in there

You may want to go back to the vet, and have them investigate further.

ou and i have seen him sneeze two times, and once he was shahing like when you are cold. could it be a infection? what other symptoms should i search for? i have a vet planed for tomorow, but im trying to get more opinions till then.

Sneezing isn't always a big issue, most likely he was clearing salts out of his nose.

the shaking could be the leaf walk, or him warning you to back off.

if its an eye infection, he might keep the eye closed, rub it, or it could look inflamed, or sunken, depending, or he may not have many symptoms at all.

he was shaking diferently, like he is cold, but that might be the case because he was out of his terarium.

and the symptoms, he is not having the eye closed, it does not look inflamed, the only thing you can see is thet that particular eye end the dome around it is a bit larger, and has worser skin colors and paterns (like less visible) on it. you can see the bad eye on the first picture, and the good one on pictures 3 and 4.

Hi and welcome

His eyes look kind of weird and he looks a bit overweight, though it could be just the angle...
I think it would be best to fill out the form: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

 

[jasdesign]

yes they look weird, they have like sacks of skin below them. You can see it well on the pictures.

Don't make multiple threads,. it gets confusing for the people assisting you.
there are some things you need to correct, but I will tell you what they are once you copy and paste the help info here in this thread.
