Eye Infection

[KiwitheCham19]

Hello! I noticed my 3 year old Chams eye looked swollen/crusty on Saturday (2 days ago). I am trying to get a vet appointment with a reptile vet but until he’s seen is there anything I can do for him? Is flushing it with water a good idea? Increase/decrease humidity? Any suggestions would be helpful!
Note: his casque has been curved since he was a baby. This is not new.

I'm so sorry your beautiful baby is not feeling well. I'm going to tag some people here that have more experience with eye issues than I do. @Beman and @MissSkittles. Do you need suggestions on reptile vets? Let us know how else I can help!

When was the last time he could flush his eyes decently? Flushing or a good misting see session where he can flush his eyes can’t hurt and would be something I would always do.

Hi. You could definitely give him an extra long misting. If your night temps are below 68, try boosting his night humidity as high as possible. During the day, keep your humidity between 30-50% as poor guy doesn’t need a respiratory infection. What supplements are you using and what is the schedule for each one? Many vets will automatically give vitamin injections along with whatever other treatment. Depending on your supplements, he may not need them. Do you need help finding a good vet? @elizaann2 has a list of good vets.
