My false chameleon has had a bulging eye for quite some time. It hasn't affected him as far as activity or eating, but I would think it would be uncomfortable. I took him to an exotics vet that I trust, and she gave him a good checkup and did an eye flush, and said it appeared he has a nasolacrimal duct that is plugged on the right side. We tried antibiotic drops for two weeks, and that has not helped. We tried to find anti-inflammatories, but none of the pharmacies around here carried what she wanted to prescribe. Next step was going to be a cytology swab, but we decided to try the antibiotics first.
I am wondering if anyone else has had any experience with a plugged duct in any of your lizards, and what worked for you if you got it resolved. The vet will be calling me back next week for an update, and I really haven't seen any improvement so far.
