Needle in the eye! 
Wide awake! Cringe. What I like about this video is if my cham's eye ever grows an abscess, I will know what to expect when it comes to treatment. No surprises.

That solid block of yellow was the pus.Was there puss
I know! I was thinking/hoping he’d need to at least make him a little woozy for this, but even with mild sedatives there’s risks. I certainly wouldn’t want a vet with minimal chameleon experience trying this on one of mine.Needle in the eye!

Agreed. A very good vet and a very cooperative Cham.That solid block of yellow was the pus.

Some of those type bumps can be pushed out the eye opening. I’ve seen my vet push them out and autually pushed one out myself last year. Use a moist q-tip and see if the bubble is inside the eyelid and it moves to other areas. If so, you can flush the eyelid with eye irrigation solution and work the object to the eye opening and squeeze it out.

Did the vet ever say how these abscesses occur?

My vet doesn’t call them an abscess. He refers to them as plugs or an eye bubble.

That was pretty amazing and that vet seemed like he knew what he was doing. I’m just surprised that veiled didn’t bite him!
