One droopy eye

[Carstarter]

My baby girl also has this droopy eye thing going on..with only one eye though. She’s active, eats very well (veggies and protein) and is using the bathroom well. I’ve read on one forum that someone noticed their beardies droopy eye after parasite treatment.. is there any correlation between parasites and droopy eyes? I’ve also read on another forum that it’s possible that it’s normal—genetic..
I’m wondering if I should take her in to have her checked for parasites? Although, there isn’t anything else that would suggest she has parasites..

*also, I’ve seen that t8s should be mounted INSIDE of the enclosure correct? How is this done?

Sorry, I’m a new beardie mom and I already love her so much..just want to make sure I’m giving her the best life and doing everything correctly.

SN: it’s 1045p and she’s fast asleep so I’ll be happy to upload a picture of her in the am so her eye can be seen.

It doesn’t look as droopy as it sometimes does, here.

Hi, I was about to post the same question about my beardie. I don’t see anyone answered though, unless I’m blind. Did you ever find anything out?

Droopy eye can be genetic - T 8 's need to be inside the tank no clear plastic cover over the bulb if there is one and it needs to be 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor - you can hang w/ 3M Velcro fasteners or long plastic zip ties-or fishing line- or picture wire hangers-or thin welding rod that is bendable
If her poop is really stinky runny she may have parasites but we need to rule out uvb surface basking temps and main staple insect

I’ll see what I can do. It’s also a little bloodshot. I just gave two drops of repta rinse and he seems to be feeling better. He’s been oddly active the past few days.. I also think he’s either going blind, or has cataracts, but he’s not even a year old yet. Roughly 10 months

I’m having my fiancé schedule a vet appointment to see why one eye is cloudy. It’s about time for a check up anyway.

He also only has a food response on the good eye side. Which is why I feel like cataracts/blindness
