She didn't have to have surgery luckily we just gave her calcium glubionate once a day. She hasn't laid her eggs yet we had to wait till she could actually gain function of her legs but the next step is to get those eggs out of there!
Well all my chameleon friends, It has been two long months of recovery for Baboo, and I am proud to tell you how far we have come. Our little girl would not stop trying to climb to the top of her cage so we made it so she didn't have to climb very far to feel more comfortable in her cage. We...
Our little girl was diagnosed with MBD a little over a month ago. We have been giving her a calcium medicine for it. Well our little girl has been showing so much improvement, thanks to Ferretinmyshoes! she was stuck on the ground without being able to move. Now she can move around the bottom of...
I have a few more questions. We are giving her 2cc's of ensure 2 times daily. Can we also mix in a calcium powder with the plain water we are giving her too?
Thank you so much for your input ferret, we are going to try our hardest to nurse this girl back to health. We feel like the worst parent in the world. How could we have done this to her :(.
The first vet that we went to called me and sort of explained the disagreement between her and the second vet. She told me in the x-rays you can sort of see outlines of eggs and the reason she thinks that is because she doesn't have much calcium in her body and she is using it all to form the...
I will post some pictures when I get home from work tonight. That link to the vets in Colorado show only ones in the Denver area which is a very very long drive for us. What type of plain calcium would you guys recommend and what type of schedule should I use. I am also going to do some research...

So I had a egg laying bin in this little girls old cage, well I just moved her into her new bigger cage and I think she may be egg bound. I haven't had a chance to get her a new bin yet, on the fact that I didn't think she would become gravid on the day I moved her. I felt for eggs in her belly...
Thank you both very much. The blog entry is extremely informative. I've never really watched his body language about being in front of the cage and then not wanting to be messed with and hiding. In hindsight I can see how he does act when I am around him. I cannot wait until they wake up...
So a few months ago I got my 1 year old male veiled from a local pet store. When I bought him the store owner told me he was pretty mean and that he bit the foot off of another female they were housing him with. I knew chameleons are very territorial so I decided to get him anyways, thinking I...
