So a biopsy has been done, the "tumors" were sent off to reptile specialists as well as to a lab for results. Should be a couple weeks before we hear from that. The vet also did a culture and called today reporting a bacteria infection so we will be picking up some antibiotics soon. She can now...

Well the vet is sure its a tumor, but whether its cancerous or infectious, he is not sure. He took some pictures and sent them to reptile specialists to see if they know for sure what it is. And apparently she had the lumps before going in the tank with frogs and geckos. Should hear back soon...

Alright, the vet appt is tomorrow. The chameleon has been looking a bit more stressed, her colors are darker more often now and she actually refused to eat once or twice. She looks calm now, but the eye spots seem to have grown. I hope all goes well.

Thank you everyone for your help! She is my first chameleon, so some things like 'normal movement' does not mean too much to me. She moves positions, but does stay in on place for a long time. Do they usually move around a lot? She eats twice a day and I see her drinking. So maybe there is...

What are some of the signs that she is in pain? I'm not sure what to look for, and as sad as it would be to euthanize her, I'd hate to see her live in pain.

We are looking for another vet in the area now.

She will hand feed, but I don't think she is too comfortable with it just yet. And she will drink.

We are looking for another vet, we have heard bad things from the one we went to. the Carnivore care was just for her malnutrition. Where she can't see, she was not able to hunt the crickets and no one would hand feed her. So she is real skinny right now.

No eye drops, but did get pain medicine and Carnivore Care for nutritional supplement to be given orally.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Female Veiled, not sure of age, at pet store when i started 4 weeks ago and is in my care as of 3 days ago. Handling - Only when I have to (warm baths for skin, she wasn't shedding properly) Feeding - gut loaded crickets twice a day (about 3-5) and occasional...

Sorry, but I don't know what this means.

The vets I saw did deal with exotics, and both had experience with chameleons. She can't see to eat, but I have been successful in hand feeding her every morning and night. I mist her a few times daily and make sure to hit tip of nose so she can get water that way. There is also dripping water...

My chameleon has a problem on her eyes, as seen on the pictures. Two vets have both said they are not abscesses. One suggested putting her under anesthezia but I'm affraid the cham won't be able to handle that. I took her home from the pet store I work at seeing as how she kept getting worse...
