I have some questions about old age with Veiled Chameleons. I've had my guy for about four and a half years. This past winter he had been showing some signs that he was starting to slow down. I honestly didn't think he'd make it through but he's a very tough guy. However I have to hand feed and...

The vet said they only need to see him back if things get worse. Should I schedule one just to be safe?

Good to know! I didn't know that about Baytril. I've been thinking about hornworms as well. I've just heard a lot about issues others have while feeding hornworms. Like they can bite the tongue or scratch the inside of the throat. So I've been a little hesitant to feed him those.

My 3 year old male veiled has been on Baytril and Meloxidyl for early mouth rot treatment. He's been on these meds almost a week and was wondering how long it should take to start noticing improvements. He gets 0.07ml of Baytril and 0.04ml of Meloxidyl once a day for 28 days. His behavior has...

I'm just starting to worry that I'm not able to take care of him anymore. His behavior has just taken a turn for the worse. It seems like every time I interact with him he wants me dead. It's a mission just to get him out of his enclosure to give him medication. Even if I open the screen door he...

Holding we can manage, its getting him out of the enclosure. Its gotten to the point we have to wear gloves to give him medication now. But thanks for the tip!

Yesterday my 3 year old male Veiled Chameleon went to the vet. I had noticed some swelling in the eyes and discoloration of the gums when he was eating. Took him in as soon as I saw and luckily caught everything early. I'm just having a hard time getting him out of the enclosure to administer...

Are there any good websites that you can buy live food from? I've checked all my local pet stores and all they have are crickets and mealworms

I figured they were like refrigerated. I've bought mealworms and stuff in that packaging from a local pet store so I was just curious

I was just curious if these were safe for a year old veiled to eat

I can't see anything in the eye. It is bulging towards the front of the eye. I've only seen discharge come out once and it was like a small white thing he worked out. And that was a while ago. I already have an appointment set up for Monday. I'm thinking it's a clogged gland or something since...

It was for 18 days I already finished the treatment they first gave us. It doesn't seem to have gotten worse but it hasn't gotten better.

Well I did drops three times a day for 18 days. And nothing changed. I'm going to the vet on Monday again to see what else we can do.

Already did antibiotic drops and nothing changed. Hoping this stuff works so it breaks down whatever is in there

i went out today and purchased a generic saline solution that doesn't contain thimerosal or chlorhexidine. I saw someone recommended it for an infected chameleon eye to help flush it out. I just want to be 100% sure that's it's safe.
