Thank you. I managed to do what the vet actually couldn't. Pulling on the chin didn't work for the vet and she actually gave up on that (at least for just inspecting, she did manage to give him lactulose) but I did it. However, when the sun rises later I probably will do what you did and just...

What a fantastic looking chameleon! I hope that you both enjoy each other's company. How old is, Atlas?

My adult male Jackson Chameleon had an impaction. After giving him some lactulose, he defecated twice, quite a large amount, so I believe the blockage has been removed. However, ten days passed since he had last ate, and he still refused to eat anything. I tried crickets which he refused, and a...

Please do update us again!

Well I gave him some. He didn't like having his mouth forced open but surprisingly, he showed no stress colours and was easier to deal with than I suspected.

Okay thank you I will see about getting some silk worms tomorrow. For now, I really just need to put something in his stomach. 1 - 1 1/2 for the measurements provided in the syringe, yes? Okay I will give him about that much - but how much of this power should I mix with water? It came with...

My chameleon hasn't eaten in 10 days. I believe this was due to an impaction as after a veterinarian gave him some lactulose, he defecated quite a bit the following morning, and again earlier this morning. Still, he refuses to eat any crickets I show him, and after purchasing some super worms he...

Today is the 11th day that, Tricky my jackson chameleon refuses to eat anything. It seemed he had an impaction but some lactulose helped him get rid of the blockage. I do not think he is too filled up anymore, I saw him defecate quite a large bit yesterday and today. I thought he may have just...

That's really fascinating but thank you to everyone who has been letting me know! I did just give him a very little bit of Gatorade last night, but I really wasn't sure on just how much to give him. Tricky defecated again just now, this time though it was just a very bit of urates. How often...

Well I gave him a very little bit of Gatorade. Hopefully that will help.

I am sorry I did not intend any offense I was merely trying to make light of the situation. I do have some red gatorade in the refrigerator. Should I give it to him in a small syringe the same way I gave him the medicine - and how much should I give him?

I'll go buy some now - thank you!

After mashing them, how do you go about giving them to your chameleon(s)?

All I've got is gatorade...gatorade for a chameleon? r u 4 real or r u tr0lling?

This is gross but here is the picture of the fecal matter that I found today. I do not know what caused this. I did see him snatch too big crickets at once before, maybe that contributed? This has happened occasionally but just recently I've taken even more precautions to make sure this doesn't...

After a vet visit, my Jackson Chameleon, Tricky was given lactulose by the veterinarian. She sent me home with some, saying that I should give it to him twice a day (dosage 0.05). This was because, Tricky had an impaction, and had not eaten or defecated for ten days. Earlier while he was...

Yes I had the same thought, thank you. I will do some research, but since he defecated already, is there any need to keep providing the lactulose? I might give him that one 0.05 dosage today at least. My idea was to give it to him while he takes water from me. Sometimes he even opens his mouth...

I will call him after school most likely. Do you think he could at least give me advice or provide (as much as he can) a diagnosis just over the phone without actually appointing a visit? Perhaps explain why he spit up. Not that I won't visit at all, but as I'm sure you agree, time is of the...

He did finally defecate, I noticed. That is a good sign and I will feed him (or make an attempt to) as soon as I get home from school. I suppose him spitting up must have been a reaction to the medicine the veterinarian gave him. Other than that, Tricky seems the same as he did yesterday, so I...

After getting home from the first vet visit, Tricky seemed rather lethargic. The first thing he did was go to sleep after being given the medicine that the veterinarian gave him. After she brought him back he had his eyes closed and when he would open them, he would also gape to show lots and...
