The Jar for repashy says beta carotene and vitamin A supplement so I think it has both. I buy fresh vitamins and keep the superload in the fridge to extend its freshness too. I remember reading the vitamin A debate and there was also some speculation that for some reason silkworms are high in A...

He did not mention anything further than this email which I posted here. He didnt mention that it was contagious and he also said it doesnt need to be treated. Should I call and ask for metronidazole? I dont want myself or my other reptiles to catch this either. Is it possible that this disease...

So I have made a few threads on this website about Floyd, my 3.5 year old male panther chameleon and I have had my enclosure and routine approved by many of the senior members here so I will skip the chameleon info section and get straight into it. Floyd has been dark and spending time at the...

Hello everyone, you may remember the story of Eugene my 3 year old veiled. I made a really long post on here a few months ago.I took him to a different reptile vet and she had told me it was a bad case of gout and that it is extremely painful for him and I should really consider putting him...

@lainezor :)

Hello guys, you might remember me from a post several months ago about Eugene's lumps. This is going to be a long story. I have been struggling for the last 9.5 months with my 2.5 year old male veiled chameleon Eugene. He has been through several vet trips and we still dont know what is going on...

If you can, get him outside for around 15-30 mins a day in natural sunlight and avoid synthetic d3 and watch the lumps. Its hard to tell with Eugene because I see him every day. Please let me know what your vet has to say, it might be the next step in healing for Eugene's mystery lumps. I will...

Hello, Eugene's mom here, its been 7 months of tests on his lumps and so far we know its not cancer, its not gout, its not bacterial or viral. Eugene has lumps on the same spots as your guy and we are working right now on trying to get him as much natural sunlight and keep him hydrated. So many...

Do you have a laying bin setup for her? I havent had a female chameleon before but she looks like she might have eggs soon.

2 months later I am here to tell you guys Eugene is still fighting but the allopurinol doesn't seem to be working. His bumps are still growing, something to note is that they are along the tail, left side of the spine and along the left front arm and hands and no bumps are on the back left leg...

My personal favourite:

Pain medications can cause extra kidney issues especially if the cause of his swelling does in fact come from gout. My 3 year old veiled was diagnosed with gout about a month ago and I have been giving him allopurinol (a human medication that they had componded for vet use) every day for the...

I am at about $600 now for just the vet bills. I still need to get the allopurinol when they can get it for me and an antibotic ointment for his tail as well. Ive been feeding him a bunch of soft foods like butterworms, silks and hornworms and that has been adding up too. I set up a gofundme...

The vet got back to me today and said his uric acid levels are twice as high as they should be. He said that it should be ~600 and its at 1200. He said the phosphorus level is slightly elevated and one of the liver levels is slightly elevated but he thinks that is because the muscle enzyme level...

The blood was taken pretty easily with no complications and he is home now and safe and sound I also got a fresh fecal right before the appointment to bring in and check out. He is still eating well and moving around a bit. His urate was chalk white so he doesnt seem to be dehydrated. I'm going...
