100 watt basking bulb might be too much... make sure the basking temp doesn't go much past 92.... also if you have a fan on or an ac unit blowing air it might be irritating it

i dont think its wind he is away from vents and the windows don't open any other thoughts?

I used a touch of terramycin on a irritated eye after the shower didn't work and in 2 days had my guy back to normal and he stopped itching and blinking its like it never happened that medicine is great...but im not a vet just saying what worked for me

 

[camimom]

can you post a pic of the eye please?

 

[Augustine]

I dont have a pic at the moment and hes sleeping now but the eye looks good to me nothing has changed in appearance.
i think im going to the vet on sat morning because i think its been getting worse

Is the cage drying out between mist king misting?

 

[Augustine]

Yes it dries out its only a 30 second mist do u think I should make it a longer mist with more time between mists?

terramycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and should be used for a certain time period in order to knock out a population of bacteria, be careful when self medicating because you could potentially set up a resistant strain in your cham. Hope the vet solves the prob for you. Good luck
