Question
Today I came to check on my bearded dragon and he did not look well. his right eyelid was blue on have of it and swollen, and his right side of the mouth was all swelling and did not look good. i tried feeding him and he tried to eat it but he couldn't hold onto the superworm because of his right side of the mouth. Everything else onhim looks fine except the right side of his face. What is wrong with him?

Answer
Hello Andrew,

Hm, could your dragon have hurt himself, or eaten something toxic?
Could you post a picture of him for me, please?
If his right eyelid was blue, it kind of sounds like he hurt himself.  
Is there something in the tank he could have hit?  
Is there any blood involved?  
You could get a warm herbal tea bag & put it on his eye at night, to help reduce the swelling, daily.
