Petey's did come out on its own, but hes been ill and getting soaked which im sure helped. I found this in the same article when I found his plug. You can try to remove them yourself. First, soak the lizard in a warm bath. Then using gloved hands or a couple of layers of facial tissue, gently...

Seminal plugs are hard waxy plugs of seminal fluid and cellular debris that build up in the inverted hemipenes. They have a long, tapered shape, usually with a rounded cap at the end which is closest to the cloaca/vent. When the plugs start protruding from the groove in the hemipenes into the...

I was advised by 2 different vets to not supplement him with d3 and multi since hes getting enough with the carnivore care and pedialyte and as long as I have the uvb, d3 isnt necessary. We dont know whats happening with him, so im assuming they dont want to over do things that they feel arent...

Possibly a hemipenal plug?

He hasnt had any multivit or d3 since december.

He goes at least every other day, sometimes daily. I appreciate any help!

Dr's orders for the increase in basking temp to help metabolize nutrients. He gets 2-2.5ml of carnivore 2x/day. His fluids are broken up in 2ml doses throughout the day.

Chameleon Info: His name is Petey Parker. Some of this info has changed since hes been sick. I know what is required, but have been changing things to meet his current needs. Your Chameleon - 3 y/o Male, Veiled Chameleon. In my care for 3yrs. Handling - Use to be very rare to hold him, but...

Thank you all. It definitely was hard & she fought hard, but it was the best decision. I hope I can get her justice. I am looking for a lawyer since the corporate office is ignoring me. Wish me luck!

We had to make the decision to put Karma down yesterday. She just wasnt responding to treatment and was in kidney failure. My new vet was great. He did everything for her, but in the end it just wasnt enough. She was only with us for 4 months & was fighting for her lige for 2 of those months. I...

I just had to put my veiled down yesterday due to kidney failure. We originally took her to the vet because she started to eat less & became lethargic. She was diagnosed with MBD because the pet store we bought her from does not provide UVB or daily calcium supplements. I spent almost $2,000...

update Not sure if anyone is interested in an update, but back from a third opinion today. Finally got bloodwork & calcium is a bit low & phosphorus is high. Also she is a little anemic with decreased RBC. They are not sure why, possible from her trying to heal herself. She has an old fracture...

They did not do any bloodwork, only fecal for parasite & ultrasound. We did discuss husbandry & that's why she has been switched between cages. We talked about supplements as far as calcium & the critical care supplement he prescribed. She never layed. The ultrasound showed no eggs. After...

Thanks guys. I am waiting for the vet to call me back, again. He is a reptilian vet. As far as her environment, yes, I am still working on getting it filled with more vines etc. Like I said, she was moved from a much smaller cage that was filled to the brim with braches, plants, vines & just...
