Any updates on your gal?

OP mentioned it being a female, about 10 years old.

I would love to check out some silkworms, I saw your message and have meant to get back to you. Where did you get the honey from? I was following that and then got distracted with other chameleon health things . I have some garden plastic netting very similar to that, will definitely look into...

The mistking I ordered for Lou comes in tomorrow. I am going to go ahead and set it up while hoping he heals. 4th vet visit in a month coming on weds with a different vet, who I hope can provide answers. Even if this doesn’t work out I am not done caring for herps and can’t imagine my life...

Would be good to know before reaching out to him. How is her behavior? Is she fussy? Mellow when handling? What does she typically eat? And how often? Thawed frozen or live feed? I wouldn’t be super concerned as a month is not very long for a hunger strike in snakes. I’ve seen/heard them going...

I’ll reach out to my buddy who keeps and breeds and will let you know what I find out. I’ve had experience with my ball going over a month without eating though. How big was her last meal? It’s pretty typical in my experience but I am by no means a snake expert. I’ll let you know what I can find...

Sweet sweet Lou.

@Emilyautumn24 I hope the best for you and your little girl. I lost my first Cham to eggbound after 3 years and it was so hard. Rooting for you and the babe.

Appointment set with Texas aviary Weds. I feel like I’m cheating with going with their competitor but earnestly just want to figure this out. Current vet has 10 chameleon patients but I need somewhere that doesn’t make me drop him off to see him, and also they are closed today. Don’t get me...

I fear he has psuedo gout, as I initially went in concerned about his d3 over supplementing. After 3 visits he was being treated for a fungal but without any bloodwork or bio done until after my last visit when I toon him home, I’m so upset because I’ve spent 600+200 for husbandry improvements...

I am hoping they will transfer over his records/xrays and such because I am flat broke right now with just enough to cover an appt at this time until the next week or two.

I am thinking of switching over to this vet. I got a guilt trip mentioning them to the vet tech who was looking after Lou, it sucked. Canceled the appt and should of just stuck with it despite that angle they used. They are closer to me than Parker but I’m leaning more towards this now for that...

He’s hanging in there but yesterday his elbow/arm became swollen. I have a vet appt with Dr Hallipaur of Parker exotics on Tuesday. Trying to see if I can borrow some money for bloodwork. So frustrated that I have spent all my savings at this initial vet and while he is taking to eating, his...

Drove an hour away to pick up 3 horn worms and he ate one!!! YAY.

Miste his hospital bin this morning and he was licking up all the water on his bridge. Healthy tongue! Swelling down. He looks happy this morning. Think I’ll take him out to sunbathe in this humid Texas heat later this afternoon. He’s looking on the upswing in comparison to Monday.

Lou update. I picked up some more fortaz and some carnivore care from the vet today and am doing home care to see how this goes and getting bloodwork done when’s I can afford it it in the next week. He took to his syringe feeding like a champ. Was irritated at first but once he licked the first...

Thanks y’all, I’ll def look into this.

I think I’m defensive as hell because of this dehydration thing And not getting any fluids for 6 days. I can’t get over how sunken in his eyes were and how he could hardly get up until about 20 minutes of dripping for him to drink and him desperately licking up all the water he could find.
