In the future I will consider that but for now I am going to have to rely on the current veterinarian. She requested that he come back for a check up later this week. How much does Dr. Greek charge?
So you've had a chameleon's horn been infected - Tricky's horns have always seemed rather dark...
Yes I'm aware of what saliva is a sign of. He gapes every now and then, not too often but he used to sometimes after drinking lots and lots of water at once. It was then that you would occasionally see one or two strands of saliva from top to bottom, but very thin, and they're not always there...
Southern California, and the veterinarian seemed to have chameleon experience. Based on what she said, she has worked with other chameleons before. And it may be normal for him not to defecate because he's not eating, but the fact that his stomach seems full to both her and me, and that he...
After a visiting a veterinarian, I was given lactulose for, Tricky. I was told to give him 0.05 twice a day, and that I would need another person to help me restrain him and force his mouth open to get him to consume it.
I think I can give it to home without forcing anything. He will come up...
For those of you who did not see the previous post, I was concerned with my Jackson Chameleon, Tricky; He had been sleeping often during the day, and then stopped eating. He still has not eaten for a week, and last he did eat, that was his first and only cricket for that day, without eating for...
I believe that he started sleeping first. It has been a week now since he ate, and when he did eat last, it was only one cricket. He had eaten nothing 2 days before that. I am in class right now, but afterwards I am taking, Tricky to the veterinarian. I hope something good comes of it.
As for...
I have a dripper and had been thinking of using that again for a while now. My reason for stopping was simply because he wasn't using it anymore. I still see him drink off of the leaves, and whenever I come to spray (and I do spray often) he will go over to the bottle to drink directly that way...
Does it say I use a blue bulb? I stopped with those a long time ago, I've got a 60W "reveal" brand of light bulbs, just a typical one you'd find in a lamp and such I suppose. I've been using this sort for a while now, because they are cheaper, last longer and more convenient to get.
Well as soon as I got home from school I called a vet that apparently deals with both birds and reptiles. Over the phone she asked some general questions about him, such as his sex, age and my concern. She didn't seem to ask about the species or if I gutload the crickets etc., so I'm a bit...
(PLEASE HELP)Sleeping during the day, hasn't eaten in days

No actually. The UVB bulb should still be emitting the rays for several months but I change them every 6 months.
I did change the heating bulb but I used the same kind and he was acting like this both before and after the light change. I doubt that is effecting anything.
However...today...

sleeping during the daytime cannot be a good thing. But I cannot find any other signs of anything bad. I suppose I'll just have to go to the veterinarian.
