My old colombian tegu had the same thing happen when he submerged his head underwater to drink. When he came back up there would be bubbles coming out of the corners of his eyes. Im not sure if that is something to be concerned about or not. Maybe their nasal passages and ocular cavities are connected or something?

Thanks for the replies guys icon_biggrin.gif

I've noticed that her right eye have had an excess of tears....don't know if it's called tears with reptiles....however, i reckon she might just have some dirt in her eye lid. So i will try to clean it.
Any tip on how to clean it?? I've bathed her several times, but she don't like to submerge her head icon_biggrin.gif

What you can do is get a (baby ) dropper ( that tube with that rubber ball looking thing at the end ) at your store.They have that either where they sell the baby food or at the pharmacy.I payed like $ 2.50 for two of them ( they came in twos ).Drip some luke warm water in her eye and flush it out like that.Please do not get to close with the dropper to her eye just in case she starts to move.Hope that helps Chris icon_wink.gif .
P.s poor baby hope she is going to feel better.
