My chameleon has an eye problem too
Well she's my husband's chameleon and he usually cares for her as I am scared of crickets, go ahead and laugh at me.
Anyway we moved from Los Angeles to Portland and Tulip developed an eye problem shortly after we arrived. We scoured the internet and this thread is the closest we've found to what we're experiencing.
Her eyes are swollen, it's like there is a small ball under her skin, so it looks like two balls next to one another, one where her actualy eye is and one below.
We spent $100 taking her to the vet and on eye drops but they've made no difference. She's eating, if it's as much as usual I woulnd't know and I make sure she has water and her lights are on a timer.
The other day I was surprised to see her eyes looked back to normal a few hours later they were swollen again. This has been going on for almost a month. She has been shedding the past few days and there's just a bit left on her tail.
I don't even like her but I'm so worried about her as it seems to be a long time to have this problem.
I also despise crickets and hate feeding her. The first time I did (which was this week) a cricket got loose and between three cats and a lab, no one IN the room, no one got it until I crossed paths with it later that night. We have one of those tubes you shake but I get so scared, is there any way to guarantee I don't let any loose?
How is Camille? I've tried taken pics of Tulip but don't know how to use my new digital and can't get a good zoom on her eyes.
