Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon -Male ambilobe, 1 year old
* Handling - handled about 4-5 times a week. 10 min at a time
* Feeding - Have everything. Wont eat dubia, hornworm. Will eat cricket, superworm, and silkies but no appetite lately.
* Supplements - Minerall O 3-4 days a week, rep-cal calc/d3 twice a month, herptavite and reptivite flip flop twice a month
* Watering - Spray all the time. Have dripper, wont drink off of leaves. Have to hand shower him daily to get him to drink. Gave showers in tub also daily since he has been sick
* Fecal Description - Hasn't been tested in about 3 months/ had coccidia back then. Urate has been really orange for about 2 weeks. Iknow what that means/ hence the showers daily.
* History - As I said, he had coccidia about 3-4 months ago. Treated with ponazuril. Tested clean a month later.
* Current Problem - He has been really sluggish the last week. Eating about one silkie a day. Found a baby mantid for him 2 days ago, his first one and he loved it. Really orange urate but his eyes aren't sunk in at all. Saw him gape for a second yesterday, but I put a hotter bulb in. Sometimes I think I will hear a little popping, but then I don't. So my best four guesses are: hunger strike witch I doubt but not sure, he got the coccidia back but I doubt because I treated him with the ponazuril last week and no change, upper respitory problem which is possible as much as I have been spraying, or even worse kidney failure which I am really scared about. He really looks pretty good. I've also been treating with reptaid which could be masking his sickness I suppose. He has also been passing some major sperm plugs. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I don't have any vets around with any exp. so I have been trying the shotgun approach. I know thats bad, but I think the vets would do the same. All though I will take him after the weekend if he is not better. Off to the son's soccer game, any help would be much appreciated.
