She died late last night despite our best efforts...:(

Oh yeah the fecal results...second fecal was also clear.

still plugging along She's still hanging in there so I'm very happy about that. I gave her some fluids sub-q again, as well as some crushed grasshopper and mealworm mix I made up and put in a syringe, she seemed too enjoy that quite a bit and then gave her some oral fluids to wash it down a...

Keep on keeping on... Well today I researched the Reptile Clinician's Handbook, clinical and surgical reference book and decided on giving a small dose of metronidizole "for appetite stimulation" so a good small dose orally. I also pumped her full of fluids sub-q and her eyes seem a bit fuller...

giving sub-q What sort of antibiotics sub-q? Would it be good to give fluids sub-q and I've done it on a variety of animals so I'm comfortable giving sub-q just wondering what the best spot on a cham would be for the injection?

Well...she's still alive but not fairing too well. She got so skinny her eyes are just so sunken and her body is almost skeletal - so I decided time to force feed, she handled that very well, did not appear stressed so I will continue to do that to get her weight back a bit...has anyone else had...

Good to know, I appreciate that tremendously Kin, thank you!!

I don't have a place to lay eggs, but judging by how skinny she is I'm not sure she could at this point.(if it is female) Do you have some suggestions for what to use to provide an egg laying place?? She doesn't sit with her mouth open, she sits kind of with her head pointing down slumped a...

The spot on the hip is kind of a crusty yellowish color no bigger in diameter than the font size on these letters I'm typing....still trying to get pics, my sister borrowed my camera and I won't get it back til late tonight grrr

I got the results back on the tests and in the very small sample I was able to get there were no parasites...which is a good sign, but i'll definitely analyze any sample I can get...and still troubling because why isn't it eating?!?!?!?!

I took a fresh fecal sample in to my co-worker this afternoon. It was another small blob of runny white and brown. She's going to take a look at it this afternoon and get back to me. She's going to do a normal smear view through the microscope as well as a liquid suspension to check for protozoa...

That I will definitely do, I'll do that tomorrow if I can get enough gathered for a sample, I think I may just take the little one in to and see if we can't get a scraping of that skin on the hip...Kinyonga, when it comes to parasites how hard is it to treat chameleons and is something like...

Hey all, just wanted to drop a line and say hello. I'm new to the forum and am glad I found this site. I haven't much experience with chameleons but have worked with a wide variety of herps as a zoo keeper, so I'm very excited to learn as much as I can about chameleons. I'm also very...

It has been active seems to enjoy crawling in the fake tree outside the cage more than anything, was really active this afternoon when I took it outside in the sun...put it back in the cage and it just kind of sits there, the cricket can crawl right over it and no reaction. Seems to really enjoy...

I will post a picture tomorrow, don't want to wake it snapping a pic tonight

I would say the temperature is about 80 in the basking area and I don't have a fluorescent yet, noticed some debate on whether to get one or not...Right now I have a Zoo Med 50 watt basking UVA/UVB bulb. The substrate at the pet store was some of that green plastic fake grass stuff. I have...

I recently bought a senegalese chameleon a week ago today actually. I saw it at the pet store and saw that its health was going downhill so I got it in hopes of getting it back to health. When I got it home I went out and grabbed some grasshoppers from the backyard (no pesticides ever used...
