Hello! Wondering if anyone has any experience with administering this antibiotic? The dosage my vet asked me to give my chameleon is 0.2 cc twice a day but this seems high - he's only 4 months old. Thanks!

Hello! Wondering if I could get some opinions...i noticed today's while misting kismet that when he opened one of his eyes briefly, there appeared to my.almost a film over his eye. Could this be stuck shed?

Beautiful!

I currently am having eye problems with my chameleon, and to get him to drink I took a small syringe, placed above his face and dropped it on his lips. He has been drinking this way for quite a while now.

I have a beardy an they are great! They have quite interesting personalities! This is my guy Jub Jub !

Just an update an Kismet and a few questions! At the vet today Kismet was given numbing drops for his eyes (the vet recommended to try this for just a couple of days to see if he got any relief) as well as a mixture of vitamin a and d drops. I did the first administer of the vitamin drops...

Thank you! We are going to be visiting another reptile vet in our area to get a second opinion :)

Thank you

I've been doing a lot of reading on vitamin a and taking chameleons outside. Would both these things be beneficial for the eyes? I'm unsure what to purchase for vitamin a; currently I'm giving him liquid calcium with a dropper.

Thanks! I was able to feed him one cricket today along with the emeraid intensive care,but still no luck with the eyes opening :(

Thanks for the reply! I had the same thought on the pain meds.....but just followed the vets instructions. I mentioned to her about vitamin a, but she said the emeraid intensive care would provide him with that, however I'm not so sure there would be enough to make a difference. I thought...

She said for his eyes, because they seemed painful to touch. He has one day left on them.

I'm wondering if I can force feed him crickets somehow?

Basking temp is about 90, at the lowest point of the cage being 80. Humidity during the day is about 60%, provided with a humidifier pointed directly on cage to wet leaves. During the night I shut it off.

I had him about 5 months before he started closing his eyes. Using ExoTerra coiled UVB. I mentioned the calcium to the vet as he wasn't eating, and she said the Emeraid syringe feeding (for critically ill reptiles) would provide him with the calcium he needed until he could start eating on his...
