Hey everyone,it's been awhile since I posted..My chameleon has been having an eye problem for atleast 6 months now..It has recently gotten even worse..Before he would only close that eye around the last hour before he'd go to bed and now he closes it all through out the day..He has good days and bad days..There is no crust or anything coming out of his eye..His left eye(the bad one) is now smaller in size than the full left one..I've brought him to 2 different vets(one vet works with a lot of exotics)and everyone says they've never seen anything like this..



Also,the color in his eye is basically completely gone(all black now) in that eye unlike the other..He can still use it but he has had some problems shooting his tongue because of it sometimes..I've used meds on his eye too but no progress..For the last month he was on 2 meds and for 1 other week another one..I don't know what to do but I feel so bad for him..He is 2.5 years old now..I wish I knew what to do to get it better,I've tried a lot..He does get stressed when it bothers him but when it isn't he is his happy self..Every vet said that he is the healthiest looking chameleon and his looks show how much I care and how much effort I put into him..The vet said he might of been poked in the eye with a branch from his plant or something..No one really knows and no one has given me answers..This new vet(exotic vet) is really good and has been calling around to everyone they know also and no one knows..



I don't know what I'd do without him to tell ya the truth..He's been the perfect chameleon(my one and only too)..I know he isn't going to die from this but I just wish he didn't have to go through this..Let me know if any of you have any ideas..
