Why are my panther chameleon's eyes closed? Shedding or dehydration?

Question

My Panther Chameleon has had her eyes closed for two days, but she still tries to move around. I’d like to know why her eyes are closed. Dehydration? Post shedding? Pet's info: Reptile | Chameleon | Female | unspayed | 0.5 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Sierra. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to skin problems, that can occlude the eyes or lead to secondary infections. Check environmental temperature and humidity. Misting with warm water might help alleviate adhered shed. If this doesn't work, a veterinary visit is recommended. They might be able to irritate the eyes to expel retained sheds or other material. Good luck.
