What to do if my bearded dragon's eyes are swollen, oozing, and shut?

Question

Okay so I have a 4 1/2 yr/old female bearded dragon. Recently I have noticed her eyes have started oozing and swelled shut. At first it was only one eye, so I rinsed it out with warm water and it went away. Then it came back in both. I continually rinse them and keep them clean. She is on the bedding with minimal dust production and is on a healthy diet. Her eyes are now continually shut and I am at loss as to what to do now

I would highly recommend taking Josie to a vet for a better exam. My concerned would be an upper respiratory infection or sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses). In reptiles when they have congestion in the sinus region the eyes will become infected as well. I would recommend hand feeding to make sure Josie is getting proper nutrition. Josie will most likely need antibiotics to improve
