Since my last post I've taken him to the vet (a reptile/exotic specialist) 2-3 times, and had another fecal test done for parasites, which came back negative... The vet actually took him home with her to keep an eye on him over night and give him fluids and food directly into his belly... but he...
I gave him another shower today, he was a little pale this time.. probably because my dad was there?
But anyway, I gave him some cricket juice and he took it okay... but then a few minutes later he seemed to be in a lot of discomfort and then had a very watery poop :( the urates were still...
Roger that! :)
Wow you can give chameleons tums?? I had no idea lol
But I think he's okay with the D3 :) I haven't been giving him calcium with D3 in it.
He probably still has the parasites then :( I was only given a 1 week bottle to give him and there was no follow up.
Oh sorry haha I'd powder his food with calcium and multi vitamins very lightly a few times a week because I read that you should do it on and off? not sure if that's right...
I totally agree that he needs more nutrition, that's why I've been mashing up the bugs. I'll definitely try the bug juice you suggested haha, thank you :)
They did an x-ray today and they said his bone density was good, so he's good for calcium, but they suggested I give him some with his...
My Chameleon - Male Panther Chameleon, a little over a year old. I've had him since February.
Handling - I only handle him when I give him his medicine, or if he chooses to climb on me.
Feeding - Currently I have to give him carnivore powder, lately I've been chopping up king worms...
:o Hehe Thank you! He is a cutie :3
Yes he has! He's been taking his medicine very well and his eyes are no longer sunken. (not that they were very sunken to begin with) He's more active than before and he's still drinking very well :)
I'm still waiting on the vet to call me back... I phoned...
Alrighty here are some pictures of my Pitri, forgive us.. he's pooping in the second picture haha (which I then collected and will be giving to the vet)

Thanks for all your replies! :) I actually just did something similar today, I duct taped plastic sheets to 2 sides and half of the front. I also added two live plants. It has helped a little.. but not much :( I guess tomorrow I'll tape some more onto the side I didn't cover.
The vet took a...
Hmm.. I sure hope not.. By the time I give him his bugs (he'll only take them if they're on my hand) the dust has almost completely rubbed off so it's very very little. But thank you for that info! Is there another dust that would be better for me to use?
I also give my bugs carrot shavings...
Sure thing :) I'll take some photos of him when I get home from work.
I dust his bugs with Rep-Cal Phosphorus-free Calcium with Vit.D3 and Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamins. I feed my king worms Oat Bran, and the crickets get cricket quencher.
He gets this every time I feed him and the...
Hello, I have a 13 month old Panther Chameleon. :)
I noticed that he started closing his eyes so I called the vet immediately and had him looked at the next day. They took a blood test and gave me some medicine to inject into his mouth. He hadn't been eating and they said he was a tad...
