Thank you for your reply. Yes, he is one of the few vets in my area that specializes in reptiles. But, he is not my usual vet. I usually see Dr. Ariana Finklestein, who is a member of ARAV, but she was not in her office today and I didn't want to wait another day to get her seen after the...

I thought the same thing so I have been supplementing her with liquid calcium additionally.

I questioned him about MBD but he said no.. Should I get another opinion from a different herp vet? There are a couple more in my area..

Update on Azul First off, thank you all for your quick replies and advice. I just got back from the vet. The vet says he does not think Azul has MBD. Instead, he believes that she has encephalitis, unknown if it is bacterial or viral because she is too small to take a CSF sample. He has...

I'm taking her tomorrow. Is the calcium spray not an okay substitute for calcium powder?

Why will the fogger make her worse? I joined this forum 3 days ago when my chameleon got sick. With that said, they were housed together because the guy I bought them from at the reptile expo said that they would be fine in that big of a cage. What is wrong with my enclosures? Yes, the one she...

That's what I originally thought, and I did put a lay bin in there but she was too weak to dig. She just laid there. I just removed the lay bin today and put her on a paper towel (see the post with pictures). I did not say that I will do anything to save her. I would really like to but I am not...

Pictures I just moved her to the tub with a paper towel. She was getting dirt all over her face and I didn't want her to try to eat the dirt and make things worse. I have a fogger blowing on her to try to keep her hydrated. She has a couple branches available if she wants to try to climb but...

To my surprise, she actually got up out of her laying bin and climbed onto a branch. So, I'm thinking she can't be all that weak.. Right? I have not intentionally bred her but I do put them in the same cage when I put them outside so I suppose it could have happened. I have never witnessed it...

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have a very knowledgeable reptile vet, but her office is already closed for the weekend.. I will look to see if there are any emergency vet offices in my area with vets who are experienced with chameleons. So, this behavior isn't typical of a female who just...

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and semi-new to the world of chameleons. I am posting because I'm worried about my female veiled chameleon. She is about 6-7 months old and I have had her for over 5 months. Based off of what I've read on here, I believe she either has eggs that she needs to lay...
