Not sure why the attachments for the files to his bloodwork didnt attach? Here they are manually. "Hemolysis index 0 Lipemia index 0 Glucose 319 Calcium 10.9 Phosphorus 17.5 Uric Acid 3.1 Total protein 7.2 AST 286...

Guacs bloodwork Here are the results of his blood work. Can any of the senior members or vets here in the forum take a look at his numbers and tell me what I am up against? And how bad are his numbers, is this something that is in its early stages that can be reversed or is his kidney...

I must be doing something wrong. I have everything set up like I should as per the directions. I put the ones that I could see were very actively wiggling (when I opened up the shipment box) into the Cup O Flies first because they looked like they were already on their way to hatching. I put the...

SInce buying my chameleon (yes, at a PetSmart) I have checked on the chams in that store whenever I have gone in there for crickets. After getting the crickets I told the girl that got them for me that the cham looked very dehydrated (dark brown in color) and asked her to go mist him. I...

Diagnosis MBD Guacamoles blood work came back with elevated phosphorus levels and he has MBD. I am going to do everything in my power reverse this and to make sure that he leads a happy good life. My vet told me that there is not much information on Veiled chameleons and that the numbers...

Update on Guacamole Tuesday morning at around 5 AM Guacamole had another "episode". Thankfully I had just gotten home from work and was washing my face to go to bed and heard the commotion in his cage (him freaking out) and I picked him up and when I did his tongue retracted on its own. That...

Thank you everyone for your responces. I have a bag of the "Cricket Crack" on its way (due to be delivered tomorrow) and am trying to find somewhere online that sells the "Super Chow" for gutloading/ storing the Superworms in. I also ordered some Butterworms and Blue Bottle Fly larvae to hatch...

Is it a good idea to have a styptic pencil/ powder on hand in case this happens or should those not be used on a chameleon?

Actually a better word would be retracting... I know that chameleons can have issues with their tongues, but is it common for them to shoot their tongue and it to stay out? Thankfully I saw when it happened and it freaked us both out. I opened the cage and scooped him up and by then his...

Thanks for the link to get the discoids. I am also in Florida and would like to get my cham some to add some variety to his diet.

Maybe offer him some real greens to eat. He might be dehydrated and need to drink. And try misting him too, just avoid spraying him directly, especially his face. That should help with the shedding too.
