Question about saline solution

I've been using a saline solution on Karmas eyes lately, which prompts him to keep his eyes open longer and more frequently, but I had an issue today.

I've been using http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/CVS-Saline-Solution-for-Sensitive-Eyes?skuId=458126 this kind of saline solution recomended in another post. While I was washing out his eyes he started drinking some of it (I actually thought this odd considering I'm spraying saline in his eyes but what ever) And right after he drank it he promptly threw up some mucus looking stuff and a half digested worm. Should he be throwing up from drinking this or is it a deeper seated issue?
 
It was probably the saline solution, but has he acted oddly besides the the throwing up or has he thrown up more than once? He should not be drinking the saline solution because he will become dehydrated.
 
He's only thrown up the once and it was when he drank the solution so I'm guessing that was the cause, I had just misted him and I guess he thought it was just another mist and might as well drink it :rolleyes: silly cham
 
Hi, i like to give worst case advice. I would rather cover the bases versus letting a potential issue become something it shouldnt ever need to.

From the post, your little one has his or her eyes closed and has thrown up? I have never witnessed a chameleon throw up from saline solution. im not saying it is not possible but i have personally never witnessed it. That being said, i would look into having a fecal done on his next feces as what you are describing, two things that are abnormal and can be pointed to a parasite issue.

Can you please fill this out https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/
