Thanks for the replies. Can anyone point me in the direction of a herp or exotic vet on here so I can ask a second opinion? Thanks

Unfortunately it's too late, we lost him yesterday afternoon. Our boy was being treated for infection however never responded to the antibiotics we tried. The vet only discovered coccidia earlier this week so he began treating him for this. It seems this pushed him too far as he was already...

Hi Does this parasite exist in different forms or types? The reason I ask is because my vet has told me that coccidia has been detected in my chameleon, however this was found by taking a skin sample and observing it under the microscope. I am somewhat confused by this as faecal...

The vet did an xray and it revealed no broken bones or anything to be concerned over. The vet wasn't sure what it was but explained that they are very flexible around the ribs area and have been known to pop their ribs out and move them around. I asked why he would do this which he explained...

Hi all. I have just returned from holiday and during my trip i had my chameleon being looked after by my vets who offer a boarding service. I collected him on my return and have noticed what looks like a petruding bone from the underside of his body. It seems to be affecting his strength and...

Hi all, My cham went to the vets today for a blood test. When I opened his box on returning home I noticed that his tail seems to be discoloured. It appears to have darkened in colour quite a lot. The vets are closed so I cannot ask the question now. I suspect this could be a reaction to...

His eyes appear to have puffed up again. This only seems to be happening at night whilst he is asleep. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

This morning his eyes are perfectly normal. I think I'm going to monitor this more closely

Hi all. I noticed a couple of weeks back that my Veiled Cham had puffy eyes. I checked him again soon after they were back to normal so I assumed he was maybe cleaning them. I have checked on him just in his cage and both of his eyes appear to have puffed up again. I haven't made any changes...

I was using Calcium Plus alongside the T5 12% lighting. My panther became ill a few months down the line. My Yemen seemed ok however when my panther took a turn for the worse I dropped both animals to 6% tubes (which are plenty strong enough through mesh with a reflector). The calcium plus is in...

Looks blue to me

Does anyone actually know how much D3 absorption a panther requires? My Cham's get very little natural sunlight here in the UK. I provide T5 6% lights for them which are quite powerful. I dust twice a month with ZooMed ReptiCalcium (10,390IU). I dont use any other products with a D3 content...

Hi there. My personal belief is that the Calcium Plus should be used less often. I also introduced this product into my supplement schedule and it became my only supplement. Months down the line I also have a sick panther with a possible kidney disease. He certainly had a bad infection. I...

I always cut their back legs off anyway to prevent them from jumping everywhere and losing their calcium dust. Just my preference....
