Thank you. It was heart breaking for sure

We took him to the University vet yesterday and had to put him down due to severe kidney failure.

This morning I woke up and checked on him and he looks better but there is a huge drool string hanging on the vine where his head was. He drank a lot of water yesterday. Could he have too much water? I listened to his breathing and don't hear any sounds. He still has his head laying on the vine...

The vet didn't really seem to know what was going on. She even tried to tell us that maybe he was fine. We are waiting for the blood work but with the holidays coming up I'm concerned when they will get back. Not sure he should wait that long for help. There is a specialist clinic at the...

Just wondering what his night time humidity and temperatures should be? I did use two different gauges and lowest humidity level was 40% (that's the current reading also) and lowest temp was 68 degrees. The highest humidity level was 60%. That was a few hours after his last mist. Not sure what...

Took him to the vet today and she thought he looked in good shape, just looks miserable. Something is wrong but not sure what. He has good muscle tone , a little fat, eyes looked good, legs and feet were good. Skin looks good. His mouth looks great. She gave him a vitamin (A, D and B) shot and...

His night time temp dropped to 67 degrees at night. His humidity was anywhere from 70 percent to 39 percent. I don't think that is accurate. The humidity in the room is higher than that. I can try a different one tonight. I have his cage wrapped in a shower curtain on 3 sides and put a towel...

His light is 6 months old. I just ordered a new one. It's very cold here and he can't go outside. I read over the husbandry sheet and I didn't notice anything wrong except I give him calcium with D3 twice a month instead of once. Was there something I missed? He was definitely swollen yesterday...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Jackson chameleon, male, 1 year. I've had him since he was 4 months. Captive bread, we know the breeder Handling - almost never Feeding - Mostly crickets, blue bottle flies, horn worms. He gets 4 to 6 large crickets every other day. Some times he skips a day...

Hi, I have a one year old male Jackson chameleon. He seems to be feeling bad. He lays under his basking light on his vine with his head resting on it. His eye are slightly closed like he is tired. I haven't noticed any signs of him going potty for a week. His belly looked big so I started to...

His basking spot is 78 degrees and it's 73 degrees in the middle of his cage.

I did have a dripper for him. He didn't use it all that I saw. I can try a home made one though cause the store bought one was very touchy. It was either way too much or way to slow. He gets vitamins once a month, D3 w/o calcium twice a month and regular calcium once or twice a week. If he gets...

Well good news. His test came back negative. She said to keep an eye on him and let her know if he stops eating or looks bad. I'm just not sure there's nothing wrong with him tho. It's a change. He is shedding right now but I don't think that would have anything to do with it. I had to change...

Oh! I do have the fecal part just not the urate. That's great news. I'll call the vet back and run that in asap.

I called the vet and she said I can't bring in the sample since I used paper towel. He usually doesn't go potty every day. More like every other day. Is he going to be ok waiting that long?
