I go to Tracy Anderson in Palm Harbor. Julirs recommended me to her and that is where she would bring her chams. I know there's a Dr. Alfonso in Orlando. Maybe I can bring him there. I know there's a thread somewhere in here about chameleon vets by state, I'll check it out. I don't mind a drive...
Hi everyone, long time no post!
Monday, I stopped by the vet because I sensed Ebenezer having parasites. I brought in a turd from a few days prior. For probably the past 2 years (he's 4) he's had eye problems, always gets boogers and crusties in them. I've brought him to the vet about this...
Almost a year later...:(
Problem has emerged again two months back, except worse. He's been perfect in the mean time, but a few months back I noticed his eyes were closed during the day. Which made no sense to me seeing he has brand new UVB and he's on a good calcium/vitamin schedule. He opened...
For his size he definitely needs to be eating 10-15 a day. Crickets are very cheap no matter where you get them. How come only 2? That would be $0.20 at Petsmart. Can I ask what kind of cage and lighting you have set up for your cute little guy?
It doesn't matter if they're from the same clutch. They are very solitary and territorial animals. They can be held in the same cage at very young ages but usually pet stores keep them together until they are sold. They are definitely claiming territory and stressed.
While were on the subject...
This is exactly what is going on with my ambilobe. Ill keep you posted with my guy and continue following your thread. I brought mine to the vet and ended up diagnosed as a respiratory infection. Can you see his saliva ever? Do his eyes ever have gunk in them?
I got the new plant after his eyes been like its been. And yeah, cubes are out, eating sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples. He's acting much better than he has been lately bit still meh.
I'll definitely be telling the Dr. everything I've done since the last visit. I've only given him two drops since I've started using it about a week or so ago. He'll get better, I know it! :) His sickness is just being a bit stubborn with going away. Thanks for the support Jann.
Can you say FAIL on chameleon husbandry?
He's doing about the same. He keeps both eyes open at some points of the day, and aims when eating with both eyes. His left eye is always open, but like I said, they're virtually glued closed in the mornings. Still giving him the leftover drops from...

The description of this cute Jackson's that is ready for his new home states:
Let's hope the new owner has a little more knowledge than his past owner. :rolleyes:
I would continue to mist, soaking probably would cause stress, especially in her condition. What I have seen people do though, is put a plant in the shower and let warm water hit the plant. I've never done it personally though.
You should probably be gut loading with more nutritious stuff...
She is VERY dehydrated, and looks rather skinny as well.
What are you gutloading the crickets with? And also, your chameleon needs more than just non d3 powder. You should use that about 5 days a week or so, and then a d3 powder 1-2 times a month, and a multi vitamin 2 times a month.
