Question
recently my bearded dragon aquired a medium sized lump near the front corner of his right eye..i was thinking it was an enflamed tear duct but not entirely sure..i would really appreciate any advice you would have for me because it seems to be sensitive and bothering him..thank you n hope to b hearing from u soon, Christina

Answer
Hello Christina,

Do you have any pictures of him?  
Can he see out of the eye?  Is it a lump that is external or more internal?  
I would try getting an herbal tea bag, moisten the tea bag with warm water & try placing it over the eye at night, right at bed time.
This could help take down some of the discomfort for him.
Does the rest of the eye look alright, or does it appear infected?
