Hello everyone. Regrettably, my first post here has to do with my dragons health. For a while now, one of my bearded dragons eyeballs has been swollen. Here is some info.
Age: 11 months
Food: 5-6 crickets or worms daily with a bowl of salad that consists of cilantro, carrots, squash and occasional berries. (I sprinkle his food with calcium dust 2-3X a week)
Lighting: His temp is 95-100F daily. He has a 10.0 UVB lamp from All Living Things. I plan on changing it soon
Pupils: Constrict/Dialate with light
Sight: I am sure that he can see because when I put my finger close to his eye (not touching) he closes it in response. He will also chase crickets that are on the side of his bad eye
Pain: He has never seemed to be in pain. He doesn't keep it closed
Infection: there is no sign of infection such as pus, mucus or anything else.
I am wondering if anyone has encountered a similar situation. If not, should I still take him to a vet? If he seemed ill or in pain, I would have a long time ago. However, it doesn't seem to bother him.
Also, if there seems to be any irregularities in my list, please feel free to correct them. The pet store was not reliable and I am still learning how to take care of them in the best way possible.
TIA.
