One eye closed

[noahdurry]

Hello I hope you all can help me today, I have around a 3 month old veiled chameleon. Today I did my normal stuff by turning on his lights and misting him. When I went to feed him I noticed one of his eyes was shut and hes been every time I check on him. The shut eye is also a purple in like the lower spot of his eye. Im just very nervous right now and could use some help.
