I also have a mist king, and love it. They are a sponsor of this site, there's a link under the sponsors section. Mine has 2 nozzles, and easily keeps the humidity where I want it, above 80%, in my 10x10x8 free range room.

I spoke with the vet this morning, and she confirmed its a 10x dilution. So after 4 days should I give him a 48hr break, and cut the dose in half?

I'll call the vet in the morning. I'm positive they diluted it with a piña colada flavor, they asked me if it was ok as a flavor. Thanks again, Leland

Sure, no problem

I'm reading it right off the bottle, so hopefully there is no error on the vet's math. The bottom of the bottle says 22.5mg/mL and I'm giving him 1.6mL per day, per 10 days as prescribed. Tomorrow will be day 5 of the treatment. Thanks,

Also, the bottle of Baytril says 22.5mg/mL of Baytril per dose.

Well, I'm giving the cham 1.6ml a day, of 10mg/kg with the oral baytril. The vet mixed it with a pina colada flavor to help with the bitterness, so I don't know what volume she mixed into the baytril. I've given him 4 doses of 1.6ml, and the thick mucus is now gone, but he is holding both eyes...

Wow, she's awesome! I've never seen scalloped lobes, very, very cool.

Thanks for the advice. Giving it to him at night is a good idea, I'll switch to that. I'm very comfortable giving him the dose, he on the other hand is not fond of it. I've tried the tickling, and he just wants to jerk his head away from my hand. When they gape, it's obviously very easy. Ill try...

If you're purchasing a ficus sp., it's a good idea for the survival of the plant, to wash all the soil off of the roots, and repot it in a very good draining soil. I use miracle grow and mix perlite into it at a 3:1 ratio. Then cover the top with landscaping cloth and rock. Miracle grow is...

I don't think there's any need to force feed him yet. I'm trying to keep the stress to a minimum. It's already rough on him having to pry his mouth open.

I have to pry his mouth open and inject it into the back of his throat. It's less than pleasant for him to say the least.

I'm well aware of its dangers, and I'm also not happy about the Cham being on it, but I'm 3 days into the dose, so it's past the point of no return. The good news is the Cham is showing signs of improvement, and drinks plenty in the mornings. He gets a 2hr shower every morning. He darkens up...

Well the problem with the vet is they're not super familiar with chameleon care. The closest vet that is, is 300miles away.

I spoke with him via email yesterday, and he asked me to post the question here so that he could respond here and others could help as well, and/or learn about the treatment as well.

Mine is on 10mg/kg per day for 10days. Some people cut the dose in half to 5mg/kg over 20 days, Melleri can't tolerate it much longer.Dr. O had recommended a dose that worked well for another's melleri here in the past, just trying to find out what has worked well for others. Leland

Hello, Trying to refer this to Dr. O, but can't find him on here lately. Anyone know the best dosage of Baytril for melleri? One of mine is on the 2.5% solution, dosed at 10mg/kg per day, and it doesn't seem to like it. It stays dark most of the day, and gets very restless. Is there a better...

I doubt that it is painless, nor the best way to euthanize a chameleon. It was just a suggestion based on the situation. Even if the tongue would somehow tear off, there are many other things wrong with the Cham, and if money is short, euthanization might be the only option in this instance...

The kindest way I know how to euthanize it at home is to wrap it in a small towel, so it feels comfortable, and then place it in the freezer. This may sound horrible, but I know of no other way to do it in your position. Just my advice, good luck, Leland
