Hi, my dragon has suddenly got a growth on her eye, hasn’t affected her hunting or eating yet and was wondering if anyone can help me and tell me what it might be and what to do, thank you

Take her to the vet asap! Monitor her appetite and beard more and her stool because most growths are tumors and if the growth grows even more, she could go downhill very very fast.

I agree , this is either due to a parasite ( a fly maybe ) or some kind of abscess due to an insect or spider bite , and needs to be dealt with IMMEDIATELY by a REPTILE VET.

Hello,

I'm glad to hear you have a vet's appointment for her.
We had taken a female dragon in several years back who had an eye issue very similar to that.
She got surgery to have it removed. It essentially was a benign growth, luckily. They sent a
tissue sample to the pathology lab, to be sure. Unfortunately, they had to remove some of her
lower eye lid but she didn't lose her eye though.
She still has some issues with it, but thankfully she hasn't had anymore growths develop.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
