Hi, my bearded dragon (3 years old), in the past 3 days have one watery eye with some bubbles on it and one white stuff that I don't know if is the eye protection or something else.
Today she don't have the bubbles but is still with the white stuff. In the last few days I have given her 2 baths, in one of them she have lots of water drank(drink), that probably had happen because the temperatures have risen too much which is not normal but have already fallen (hot 2 days basking spot-50celsius/120fahrenheit) (normal temperature- 41-44 celsius/105-110 fahrenheit) Ihave always a bowl of water in the terrarium but she never drink from there.
Sunday I let my window open and mosquito and other small green insect's have enter in the terrarium don't know if that was the problem.
See was shedding her head before this, but know she seems to have stop and is not moving/eating as normal

Basking lamp- lucky reptile uv desert bright sun 50w( change in the last 6 months, and she is with this type of light since baby and never had any problem)
Substrate- journal paper

Can't upload my photos and unknown error occurred, so

If she drank a lot of water in the bath it's possible she could have aspirated some of the water and it got in her lungs. When they aspirate you will see water or bubbles coming out of their eyes and possibly the nose. I would take her to a vet to have the eye looked at. If she had water in her lungs and it is still sitting there she could have an upper respiratory infection or pneumonia. Both of which require antibiotics.

I have gone to the vet, but he is not specialized in reptilian, and just tell me to wait because is not get worse.
Now she don't have anymore bubbles/water in the eye, just looks like the eye protection can't go all the way back, but she still don't eat/move as normal.
I have seen in the internet the symptoms for respiratory infection and pneumonia and she don't open her mouth or any sound when she is breathing... Have seen too that a sterile saline solution could help, is that like the contact lenses product?
Thank you

So you can flush the eye with sterile saline solution. If it is truly a problem with the nicitating membrane ,you are going to have to find an exotic vet.
