Need help with Beardies eye

[Sha28]

Hello , I have a 3 year old male beardie and while away a family member sprayed what they thought was water to mist him .. it ended up being carpet cleaner with amonia, immediately they tried to rinse him with water after realizing . Once I came home and tried getting near him he black bearded but that was short lived, as of a few hours later his eyes are still shut , he’s moving around even found a way to eat, but eyes are still shut and he’s lethargic , he got a bath after also and still the same. Tried diluted honey on his eyes and nothing so far hours later. please someone if you can help I mightly appreciate it! :/// hate leaving him in others care I feel so bad

Wow, that's a potentially serious situation. It sounds like you did everything you could and the diluted honey is great . It's also a good sign that he ate. Still, his eeyes should be checked by an experienced reptile vet if possible. You'll also need to watch to see if his breathing has been affected. If you have any eyewash [ not contact solution ] you can try some of that as well, but hopefully you can have a vet look him over.

Hello,

Oh my, poor dragon! I totally agree, a reptile vet definitely needs to take a look at him as soon
as possible. If you can, do try to wash his eyes out, with distilled water or a sterile saline type
of solution. As AHBD suggested, not a contact lens type of solution which has ant type of
chemical in there.
Is his beard still dark, while he is sleeping now? Monitor his breathing, to be sure that he isn't
breathing erratically.
Keep us posted on him.

Thank you guys so much! Ugh I know you guys understand the pain I’m going though Rn, it hasn’t been easy these last 24 hours on me mentally , he’s currently moving and his breathing is ok , no black beard while he sleeps still not opening his eyes tho. It’s so hard to find a reptile vet as I’m not near the city , let’s hope I can find one, thank you guys for the support!

Hello,

How is your dragon's eye looking? Keep us posted on him.
His beard is normal color right now? I know, it is difficult finding a reptile vet at all these
days. I'm glad to hear his breathing is normal also. How is his appetite doing?
