hello all, took my Jackson's chameleon to a vet the other day for having developed some form of bumps all over his body, he was fine other than that he was eating and drinking, after 2 doses of antibiotics within 3 days apart he started going downhill, losing use of his limbs and no longer...

i am taking him to a credible ARAV veteranarian tomorrow if they will accept him. idc what it costs i just wsnt to get good answers, one thing i failed to mention about the bumps is that they are fiilled with a white pus, ghat is something the previous vet did was extract the pus from some of...

i really appreciate the replies, like i said i took him on and he has been eating and drinking and doing his business regularly and then suddenly out of the blue these bumps started to develop and then after i took him to vet and he got an antibiotic he has gone downhill very badly, within a...

unfortunately after searching for results of herp vets in arkansas there are none that show up on the listing, my only option is the one i have, if there is something wrong with the husbandry i need to know to possibly correct the issues if he is to get better. if it turns out to be to late for...

i do not know of any good chameleon vets in arkansas, if anyone knows of any id be glad to know, the local one here just treats reptiles and other animals but i dont think he really knows whats going on

overall to me he looks healthy other than the bumps and the eyes look as if they may be sunk in a little, maybe he isnt getting enough water from the mister, i will try adding another misting cycle, there is not much foliage as i have tried to accomodate for his illness and get him closer to his...

hello all, my jacksons cham is 3 and a half years old and he has recently developed bumps all over his body, i mean everywhere, on his tail his back has hands...everywhere, i took him to the vet and the vet honestly didnt know what it was and gave him an antibiotic shot, my jacksons has now lost...

No i fully agree with everything you just said and i understand completely, i have gone way overboard trying to make things perfect because i am a high anxiety individual....i have been realizing that the less i am there the happier he is and the more he eats, so i will continue to do as you...

I'm seeing some improvement so that is a good sign. I just have to keep working with him

Well first off i definately wouldnt call it "bad husbandry" as my leopard gecko is very active and healthy as can be and has lived off od nothing but crickets fed in high calcium diet, i see nothing wrong with it. My newest question now is what do i do if my chameleon is not interetsed in eating...

Ok i think I'm going to scrap the commercial gutload and just start blending up gutload from recipes i have found, unless it is good to keep the commercial stuff as well (and when i say commercial gutload im talking about flukers high calcium cricket diet) so that may not even be considered a...

I gutload with commercial gutload and i also try to use fruits and veggies but haven't found a real sound way of doing that just yet, will the crickets really find that tub of veggies? All i ever see them do is stay at the top of the cage. I have never gut loaded more than just 24 hrs, I've had...

Ok so i Will try to not be around him when he eats anymore, ill see how much he has eaten ast the end of the day, so eco earth is not a good substrate of choice for a bioactive viv? I mean i know it has no nutrients but were not aiming for the chameleons to eat any of the substrate anyway...

Ok that is basically what i decided, all the crickets seem to stay around the top corners of the cage, every time i come into the room he has never touched them and they are still there, do you think maybe he is just to scared to eat when i come into the room? Maybe if i just throw them in...
