Ok,so I think my chameleon Louie has conjunctivitis. He has been having this for a while now and has never really hit 100% recovery. He has seen the vet many times and he is currently on omega 3(for the rest of his life) and with that alternagel(wich is not for the rest of his life). At first the vet took a culture from his eye and found no bacteria on it. For about a month he was doing great and seemed like he would be fine. This weekend his right eye has acted up and sometimes his left eye has also,but it will reopen shortly. His right has it worse though,it has more white crust on the outside and im suspecting on the inside wich is giving him alot of discomfort. Im wondering what could be this cause. And I am currently using newspaper as substrate for the bottom of his terrarium,could this be a problem? And I still have some terramycin and was wondering if i should use and i was wondering what it exactly does?
Cage Type: a terrarium 48x30x16
Lighting: 5.0 reptisun UVB and a 60 watt light bulb for basking.
Temperature: Normal temps are around 80-89 and basking are 90-96
Humidity: The humidity is around 30% and its basically made by misting him and by the plant.
Plants: I have one umbrella plant in there.
Location: The cage is located in my room, its not by and air vents or where drafts are.
Your Chameleon: A blue bar panther ambilobe,he is 1 year and 9 months old,male.
Feeding: His diet consists of crickets,he gets about 10-12 every other day, I am using lettuce to gut load the crickets.
Supplements: I use reptivite and rep cal once a week.
Watering: I have a dripper on the whole day that drips off a leaf. I mist him 2x a day for about 3-5 minutes.
Fecal Description: I dont usually see fresh ones,by the time i see em they are shriveled up. But at times when i do see new ones,they have a whitish end and have some tan in them.
History: Well this eye problem seems to have been goin on for a long time now and it hasnt really stopped.
