yes, that would be the "p" word she said...thanks! There was a lot of information thrown at me at once and I didn't write it all down, just how I was supposed to treat her. I could be mistaken about what "bug" she actually has because she talked about a lot of animals she has treated and...

Well the main diagnosis was mouth rot. She said that she is supper skinny (46g :(), but very active and strong. She gave me Ceftazidime which I have to inject into her little arm every 72 hours for the next month :( On the bright side she took the initial shot VERY well...poor girl. The vet...

Thank you...I don't feel all that prepared but it's probably just because I"m worried...I will update everyone after our appointment tomorrow morning. Thanks again for all the info!

I'm open for suggestions that will be the least stressfull...I do have heat packs, a container and an insullated box to put her in. We ship quite a few beardies (obviously not when it's this cold) but I figured I would pack her relatively the same way...unless you have a better suggestion.

I did tell them it was an emergency; however the doctor that was there that tonight doesn't specialize in reptiles...it's the other Dr and he won't be in until Monday. Apparently the receptionist left out this information when I had originally called. They couldn't get me in until Monday, but...

Bad news...the vet had to reschedule for tomorrow at 7:30am so I have another night of not knowing what's wrong. I don't want to mess with her mouth to see if it's swollen becuase I'm sure that the vet visit in the am will be very stressfull on her and I don't want to add to it. I am just...

Whew, that's a relief...I wouldn't know what to do if they infected his dragons and pythons! He's drilled it into my head the importance of washing my hands after handling anything they have in their cage, so I'm doing one thing right :) Thank you for all your comments and I will update...

I made an appointment for the vet tonight so hopefully she can be saved and it is something cureable. She (and the male) are in the same room as the bearded dragons (higher and blocked from her view). Is this something that can spread without direct contact? Should I remove them from this...

Unfortunately I just got back to work so I won't be able to check on the inside of her mouth until around 6:30, but I will do so and responsd as soon as I can. As for what she looked like when I got her...she was dark with orange/peachy spots and probably very stressed being at the reptile...

I haven't heard back from anyone regarding how she looks, I've included more pictures I just took. She keeps getting worse. I see her drink every time I spray but will still not eat. Her eyes seem like they are sinking and I've noticed a spot on her mouth which I took a close up picture of...

I haven't had her very long. I got her and a male on Sunday (1/10) from a reptile show. When I brought them home I didn't feed them that night because they had been feed at the show. The next day she had crickets dusted with Calcium powder, the next day without. After that I have not seen...

still no eating. I gave her a warm shower and saw her drinking, but she's starting to sleep with the light on. No sign of getting in or around the lay box. I have the sides of her cage covered so that she cannot see me checking on her. I've been leaving her alone except to water her. Is...

Still no eating, but she did have some droppings...they were white and orange. I put the lay box back in her cage. I am going to cover the sides so that if I walk in the room she doesn't see me. I've read that if she was to see me she would stop. Should I keep the lay box in her cage or...

I have a mature female panther chameleon that has stopped eating. She is drinking water; however, it's going on day 5 that I have not seen her eat and I'm really concerned. She is in a 18x18x36 screened cage and has a heat lamp, UVB bulb, humidifier, dripper, plants, no substrate, plently to...
