Bearded Dragon Help

[phac]

After some feedback frm any1 who can help..... adolecent female beardie gets MASSIVE bulging eye sockets, her eyes look blood shot irritated. ( i've attaced pic) This happens when feeding with her 'room mate' beardies (same size as her - 2 x boys) it happens very quickly & lasts 4 hours at times, when at worst they puff up so bad she cant see/catch food. 1st it only happened when sometimes eating - so we tried to faze out foods we thought mite do it (other beardies eyes are normal and eat everything she eats) the food was not the case, then we thought it might be due to intimidation etc. but shes only just got this a few weeks ago & has been with the other dragons for quite some time. The eyes were originally only doing it occasionally then they were puffing everytime she fed, now they seem to be calming down a bit but still happened tonight.:shock:

she is shedding, this is how they stretch their eyelids to aid shedding.

Reply - Not Shedding

Shes definatly not shedding, i no what you mean they pop their eyes in and out for a bit to help remove skin. This has been happening for over 3 weeks and as said, her eyes go that red and are that big she cant eat

eyes

whats the vet say? sorry meant to say get her checked out!!!!!

 

[Kirby]

what brand is your uv tube? any particle substrates? are her eyes red and agitated?

 

[=bECS=]

Possibly a reaction to the substrate or something irritating her eye.
Best thing to do is take her to a vet if its as bad as you say.
You will only get all sorts of varying opinions of what it could be from here, whereas a vet will tell you for sure
