Ok! Thank you!

How often do you change the bulbs so the chameleons get the right amount? Do they get weaker as they age?

She is doing better. The showers, reptiboost, and eye ointment has helped. Her color is looking better, she's still of course thin and she still can't see. Will she eventually get her sight back with the vitamins and ointment? Do you think the blindness could be perminant? I bought a new basking...

Ok. So, I got the reptiboost. I gave her a shower and dropped drops of reptiboost into her mouth when she was drinking the water droplets. She doesn't rub her eyes at all. The humidity seems to help her eyes open better but she still doesn't seem to be able to see. I'll keep up the showers and...

I do put her in the shower and she seems to enjoy the water and humidity. She does drink the droplets. Her eye is visible after the shower, but she acts like she can't see. I will try stunning the cricket to see if that works. I tried feeding her an alive cricket and when it's leg touched her...

Yes the infection is in both eyes

A picture of Athena. I've been giving her "showers" to get high humidity hoping that would help her eyes. I need help with feeding her. I'm able to get her to drink and I've been trying to hand feed her watered down baby food with a syringe. I'm trying to get her some sort of nutrition. It's...

please help. My veiled Athena has an eye infection. She has seen the vet and we are giving her eye ointment antibiotics. She can not see very well to hunt. The eye infection is clearing up but the ointment leaves her eyes blurry. She acts like she can't see, the way she maneuvers herself around...

I just lost Jade, a baby female veiled chameleon to suspected parasites. :( She was just too tiny. We did everything we could, the vet couldn't even do what she wanted to do because she thought it would hurt her more than help her... We gave her meds, got her to drink, but she was just too...

Sad News...She made it through the night, which was a big concern for me. We got her to take the meds, drink some, but she was just too tiny. She fought though, she was a tough little girl and tried really hard to get better. I will miss sweet Jade. :(

Thank you for the input and advice. I don't mind letting the water sit for 24 hours, just wondering cause it is room temperature water not warm.

Is it necessary to de chlorinate the water for chameleons? We have city water is that safe enough? I've been letting the water sit for 24 hours before misting them, but is it necessary?

Is it important to dechlorinate the water? I've been setting the water out for 24 hours before using it, but if it doesn't matter I'll use warm water from the tap.

Jannb the vet believes it is parasites. She gave me antibiotics for her. She isn't doing too well today, but hopefully she will come around. The vet suggested I smear chicken baby food on her mouth to hopefully get some food into her belly. She also said sugar water to help her out...any other...

Ok so the vet suspects parasites, which is what Jannb had said could be why she hasn't grown. We are not out of the woods yet, but she is on an antibiotic that I hope went into her mouth...she has a warm mist humidifier running on her for what the vet suggested only 24 hours, and I'm smearing...
