Update on the Chameleon! He has been doing MUCH better he has been awake most of the day for about a week now and not sleeping in the day much. It goes on and off some days he sleeps more others he doesnt until the light turns off. I made a lot of adjustments that I think have been doing a lot...

Okay cool I will call the vet here and see if they can prescribe me some antibiotic to try. Maybe I will bring him in if they can culture him, they can’t really mess that up I would imagine.....

Okay perfect, do i need to get his eye cultured to know which antibiotic to use? Or should I just use a general antibiotic? I can drive him into the big city near me but it’s about a 40 minute drive I thought that might be too stressful.

Okay I misted him earlier and it’s ZooMed Reptivite without D3. Thanks

im going to buy a new fan for him today, give him a soak, and possibly move him out of the palodariun.

I gave him this yesterday for the first time without the d3 in it. Does that look alright? I’m gonna try and give him a soak also.

So after making those changes I woke up this morning and the opposite eye that had the pus on it a couple days ago is glued shut.... what is the protocol for this/ should I just get him out of this tank?

Ya h ya honestly it’s the only reptile vet within 30 minutes from here so I didn’t really have a choice.... I didn’t know what to do

Ya we removed the pus(although it was hard not really pus) with a q tip and some saline and since then I haven’t seen any more. Not sure what to think of it definitely looking out for more.

Just a quick update, Today I went and turned the waterfall off and emptied out the fish tank, cleaned all the moss and dirt up. Then I went to the pet store and bought a new reptisun 5.0 bulb and fixture along with an automatic mister and bought him a variety of food. I went home and he was...

He also had been rubbing them on branches which could have caused the swelling.

Yes the fish tank part is filled and I clean it pretty often I would say I go in there with tweezers every 3 days and give it a good cleaning and about once every two weeks or week I use a fish tank cleaner to get all the particles out and do a water change. His poop and leftover food gets in...

The Vets said it was going to be a proccess. I agree it does need to get fixed quickly he doesnt look too good.

Wow that really sucks to hear but obviously a healthy Chameleon..... The tank is called a palodarium which is a terrarium with a fish tank at the bottom, the idea is to put fish in the bottom and a reptile on the top. Although i have no fish in the tank i just use it as a resevouir for the...

They looked in his eyes and said both of them looked great, they looked in his mouth and said it looks a little bland and should be pinker. Then they gave me the parisite medicine and showed me how to put it in his mouth along with the food. The vet thought I needed a new UVB and stronger Heat...
