Thanks a lot, I thought of ordering butter worms too so I'll make sure to get some of those!
I've certainly not seen him take a fall but as I work 9-5 it's not beyond possible! I'll keep an eye on him, I'm holding off with the meds unless he deteriorates and then we'll be going back to the vets...
I've just had the call from the vets, his fecal came back negative for parasites, worms and infections.
George seems a bit more perky these past 2 days, although still weak with his back legs, he's certainly getting around his cage a bit better.
As he's refusing hard bodied foods, are...
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I've not had issues like this with chams before, I've rescued poor health chameleons a number of times with MBD and the like, this is a new one for me!!
I don't remember off hand the brand of his multivits, I'll check when I get in but yes they...
We have actually recently moved house, our new house is much bigger and he's in a much airier room than previously. His humidity levels don't seem to have taken a massive hit but they do fluctuate more between mists. He wasn't showing most of these symptoms for the first couple of months after...
Hi, I think the vets main concern was the weakness in George's back legs. He has had some puffyness around his eyes and some.. Goo (that's the only word I could think of!) came out of one of them yesterday. George is refusing to grip anything with his back legs properly, though he is still...
Today I took George to the vets as he's been suffering from a few different ailments which I detailed in a previous thread. He's been quite weak in his back legs, with small lesion like marks appearing on his knees. He has also gradually lost his appetite over the period of about a week. He will...
I've managed to find a reptile vet who's willing to see George, but not until Wednesday afternoon (5pm) so any advice in the meantime would really help from here! I've showered him and I'm getting him as much natural sunlight as possible. He doesn't seem to have deteriorated in a few days (I'll...
George will be going to the vets tomorrow. I adjusted his lighting, using a lower wattage bulb further away from his basking spot. However, the mark on his knee has spread, appeared on his other leg, and he is now reluctant to use his back legs. He sits with them hanging over his branches. He is...
Thank you both! He's a lovely boy, I'm looking forward to him finally shedding his scruffy little face! :) He's definitely favouring orange these days!
This week I picked up a new camera and George graciously helped me out with giving it a test run! Please excuse his scruffiness, he's been powering through a difficult winter shed! My handsome boy is finally getting there though! :)
Thanks for the replies!
I thought it looked like a burn too but was a bit concerned as he's never had this before and his set up hasn't changed for quite some time! I've attached a picture of his cage. I've moved his light a bit away from his basking spot now and will see if it helps. Could the...

Hi everyone,
My George is coming up to 3 years old and is a very active guy! He's been struggling with a difficult shed this winter but finally getting there now. This week I've noticed a strange mark appear on his knee and I can't seem to find any information about what it could be! Any ideas?
