Thanks Carlton for your help. It made a difference. The infection is going away and he is eating again. Peace, Tom

On the hunt again :)

Yeah if he doesn't eat soon I'll mash up a few crickets and "spoon feed" him...

He was seen yesterday by another vet. He cleaned out the green gunk up in his jaw. Two meds were prescribed. Sulfatrim suspension, to be applied under lip where the infection is twice a day and A topical for the trauma on his lip. Not mouth rot, but it is an infection. Now I'm dealing with a...

Okay, I will schedule an appointment. Thanks so much for your input!

Thanks Carlton, I have found another vet that I will follow up with in a few weeks. Nothing worse than bringing your animal to someone you are not comfortable with. It was kind of a red flag when they couldn't figure out how to open his mouth and I had to do it for them. One quick question, do...

The original injury is under his right side eye (to the left in these photo's). That is why the lip is peeled back. This injury suddenly appeared a few months ago and scabbed over much like a cut would on one's own skin. The scab disappeared and it looked much better to me. Then the other day I...

I am concerned with a mouth injury on my panther. He has had this now for a while. It looks much better than it did a month ago, but after seeing a discussion on here about mouth rot I took a closer look today and snapped a few pictures.I don't like how the gum line has a green look to it as the...

Yeah I don't like how it's green...bringing him ASAP. He is still behaving fine. Eats, drinks and still has his Kung Foo grip with his claws :P

Just uploaded again...

Hello All. I joined this forum about a week ago after purchasing my first Panther Chameleon. A few years ago we lost our Veiled. I have always wanted a Panther and several weeks ago my daughter and I went to a reptile show and couldn't resist a six month old Ambilobe. We took him home and I...

The next thing I plan on doing is purchasing another big dripper and running the tube from that to the original big dripper using the spare valve, attaching it to the other side of the jug opposite the original valve. Water seeks its own level, so both will drain at the same rate and now double...

Just changed the design of what I described above. I took a large reptile dish from my local pet shop and drilled a hole in the side. From this I attached a piece of tubing to act as a drain and sealed it with water weld epoxy. The dish is large enough for me to secure the plant to its inside...

Exo Terra Plant Recently I purchased one of these Exo Terra dripper plants. The next day I found a poop in the reservoir and immediately became concerned about bacteria. I thought it would be a good idea when I bought it, but realized I was asking for trouble. I decided to remove the pump and...
