I have a concern. My beardie was fine this morning. Fed him just like normal and left. I got home at 7pm this evening and one eye is open and seems normal and one is a little swollen and shut. He can't open it. You can see him trying with the lid kind of moving. He seems alert with his other eye, follows my movements, seems to be eating same as normal but he's become lethargic in the past few hours. He lays with his head flat on flat on his belly. He was not like that earlier. He's also shedding but I didn't think that would have anything to do with it. Has anyone got any advice? I don't want him to end up really bad if I can do something now.
