Update:
Just payed $100 to find out what bacteria they could find on Hugo (My Chameleon) and what you see on the top right (of the attachment below) are the 3 types they found. And the highlighted Marbofloxacin in the middle of the page is the recommended Anti-Biotic we have switched to. And on...
She wants him under UVB as much as possible because she says
reptiles take a while to get over stuff and to make sure to keep him nice and warm that will help speed up the process, thats why i imagine she wants to leave the lights on ALL THE TIME! Ridiculous huh? She is the only small animal...
But the basking bulb does keep the cage the right temperature, i was wondering if the UV bulb is putting out enough rays? I have a Exo Terra Repti Glo Bulb (5.0 or 10.0 not sure what the difference is and cant remember which one i have) UVB 26Watt Terrarium lamp. And it has been replaced not...
Yipeee!!!! He's still alive this morning. Gets another shot of baytril today. Everyday for the next 4 days. Still waiting on results from the sensativity test from his lip to come back from the lab. Here is the sore on his lip (see pic) not looking so good it even looks worse on the inside of...

Ok the vet does not think Hugo my Vieled Chameleon (pictured in the beginning of this thread) has MBD. She refused to give him a calcium shot but therefor gave him a Multi-Vitamin shot and a general antiboiotic for the sore on his lip. She also took a swab sample of the sore on his lip...
