Howdy... Looking for some opinions. I think Boogie may have some mouth rot or at least something going on with his mouth. It's looked odd for a week or so but I think it's become more prominent. Don't mind his super dull colors - he is VERY much on the verge of a shed. It's a real struggle to...

You're REALLY close to a great vet - Dr. Daulhausen. I went to him when my guy was sick (way more sick than I thought... Sadly he passed away), and they treated me WONDERFULLY. Their prices are fairly reasonable. The phone number on the vet sheet is incorrect though. It's actually (513)...

At 6mos you can still feed him daily as much as he'll eat. I'd say just keep an eye on his casque and cheeks to make sure he doesn't get overweight. He's still growing and needs all his nutrients!

Rest peacefully, Aster. Lovely name. Glad you're no longer in pain. And thank the lovely people here for the care they're giving to these oft-overlooked animals. The folks here are SO amazing.

Hello y'all! So in the past week or so, my baby cham has decided that dubia are currently yucky and he'll literally pick BSFL out of his feeder cup from around the dubia. :rolleyes: So I'm in the market to find other feeder options that he'd like, so I can add variety. Ideally, I'm looking for...

190 bucks for a checkup?!?!? Holy CRAP that's expensive! Most places charge like... 50-100ish plus an additional 20- MAYBE 50 for a fecal. 190 sounds like an emergency vet visit, not a normal scheduled one.

Usually fecal checks aren't more than like $25. They may have wanted to charge a vet checkup fee as well, which isn't a bad idea to do. Can I ask how much you paid for them and what they quoted you for a fecal test? Unfortunately, even captive bred chams can have parasites, ESPECIALLY if they...

A lot of reptile vets don't specialize in chameleons, and there are many instances of them prescribing a blanket dewormer that won't even work for the parasites the cham might have. That's why Beman asked about it - so, SO many vets have recommended things that could harm/kill chameleons in the...

Howdy! That lump on her head/nose is definitely worrying. That's usually indicative of some sort of infection, possibly one with the sinuses. You need to schedule a vet appointment ASAP. That needs to be treated - likely with antibiotics and also cleaned out by a vet. As far as her swollen...

It really depends on how often you feed them. Babies that get fed every day poop pretty darn often. I think my adult cham, when he was down to eating three times a week, pooped 1-2 times a week, so 5 days isn't overly worrying. I'd keep an eye on him, keep him hydrated, and make sure his basking...

This is incredible! I'll have to go back and read this thread (I came here just over a year ago so missed it by THIS MUCH) but it is so wonderful to see such an amazing recovery story. Thank you for sharing. What a HUGE BOY you have! Parsons are amazing!

SO glad to hear it!!

awww poor buddy. Those videos are hard to watch, but I'm really thankful you've taken them. Hopefully it can help someone in the future. My heart is breaking for you - it's a tough choice but you're doing the best you can for your little guy. You've cared so well for him and now you're giving...

I think that was in reply to another person who posted about a month later about their own veiled who's super picky. That said though, I AM curious if your guy is back to eating properly with the changes, @Paradalis🦎 !

You may have to upload it somewhere liek youtube and then link it. I'm so sorry this is happening...

That little setup looks pretty good to me... Is he sleeping tonight? Fingers crossed!!

You're doing the best you can with him and little buddy is fighting! My heart goes out to you. I hope this all turns out well. You're being an AMAZING caretaker!

If you're taking him to the vet on Thursday, bring a fresh fecal sample that's no more than 24 hours old if you can. Get one and put it in a baggie and put it in the fridge and bring it with you to the appointment. A fecal float will hopefully be able to tell you if he has parasites/eliminate...

You said his poop smelled "too rancid to handle" - are his poops really stinky? If so, that's often signs of parasites. Chameleon poop shouldn't really even have a smell unless it's super new and you're pretty close to it. If you're smelling horribly bad poops then that's not normal either. Has...

Man that last pic should be another example of being able to point out where their airway is. That's a perfect picture of it. As far as the swelling, goodness... What on earth can be causing it? I know you've taken amazing care of her since you got her... Perhaps this is remnants of how far...
