Need suggestions for a good vet in Dallas.

[Charlie Fox]

I have noticed that Darwin has a nasolacrimal duct obstruction. His left eye sometimes builds up with tears and has a small bump right before his nostril. I work in Ophthalmology and he is showing the same symptoms as a person would with the same problem. Normally we would do an lavage treatment first with dye to see if anything drains, most of the time saline solution will work. Does anyone know of a chameleon vet that knows eyes? I have all the tools to do the procedure if i have to, but would prefer to have a specialist look at him, just in case we need to do a culture.
DFW area preferred due to the need for a few visits.

Sorry, I don't know the area maybe @jannb or someone local can recommend a good vet.
If you can you should try to photograph the progression and share it on this thread so others know what it looks like.
Hope Darwin is better soon.

I think there was a thread on the forum posted by @ferritinmyshoes concerning the tear ducts...but I can't find it right now.

I'm sorry to hear that Darwin is having problems. Here's a list of reptile vets in TX and there's a couple listed for Dallas. I'd recommend calling them to see if either have chameleon experience.
