Captain Jack passed away this evening, april 30 2009. It is so sad, its hard to describe. Our only comfort is that he is no longer in pain........... The last thing we did for him was attempt to give him calcium drops.......he kept trying to grab my hand to get me to stop........I hope he knows...

ok, so if i get a suppliment with just calcium and d3...........how often should he be recieving it? how often should a healthy chameleon be recieving it? so by my count, i need three suppliments for a chameleon? a multivitamin, a calcium supp, and a calcium plus d3 sup???? that seems like a...

hello eric, it explains what?............did jack get this mbd from not enough calcium? or not enough d3? are they both causes? before this all started, jack was being supplimented with bone aid.......which is a calcium dust. so im positive there is no lack in calcium in that...

i left the first vet who was suspecting infection........the second opinion is coming from a new vet, and his suggestion is mbd..........

he recieved a shot of calcium at the vets office, and is now on liquid calcium every day for a week ( we're on day 7 now) and twice a week thereafter. his poop hasnt been loose the last few times he's gone. its been more normal. but this time it looked like he was really straining to try and...

hello all, so now its been 6 days and jack is off ponazuril. he's been on calcium for 5 days now, and has shown now improvement. the vet called to check on him, and i said nothing has really changed. how long should this take?? i saw him trying to have a bowel movement the other day, and he...

correction, he has now eaten 6 crickets with dust, and taken 3 droppers of water. i havent given him his meds or fluid today yet........

glad your cham is getting better, he looks good :) he has a cool shape to his veil :)

"Had him to the vet a while ago. The vet is a very experienced one here in NJ. The cham was hanging is leg and not using it much. I got it to the vet and he said it was a kidney disease and put it on baytril .4ml two times a day. " i just wondered, is it only is one leg? have you noticed at...

jack's latest update hello to all, yesterday i took jack to a new vet. after hesitation because of the last visits, i decided it was in his best interests to seek a second opinion. this vet seemed to know his way around reptiles quite well, and gave a feeling of confidence. this could also...

his foot doesnt feel hard where it is swollen, no. it feels squishy. it does feel rock hard like bone in the lump in the picture tho..........

ok eric, anyone else have any ideas????? he just had a urate, that was light orange in color, no poops with it :(

here is a pic of his new "lump"................

i will try and get a picture of his little lump,,,,,,,,,,,its hard because its kind of small and hard to even see with my eye............. i'll try my best and get it up today.............. i got a message today saying that it sounds like jack has all the signs of kidney problems, but that if...

agreed eric, these were not his normal set of sphere shaped eyes. it only lasts a few seconds, and does not stick around. i have seen it in other chams ive owned, near sleep time. last night i fed him 3 crickets dusted with reptivite. he ate them no problems. now i will wait and see if it...

well i have never knowingly given jack vitamin A...........would he have gotten too much from the crickets? he uses reptivite already, twice a month. its reptivite with d3.........i only started it on him about 2 months ago though.........

hello all, jack has never been supplimented with vitamin A. before he got sick, his crickets were dusted with calcium powder whenever he ate. D3 twice a month. the d3 powder does have other vitamins in it as well...multivitamin. where do they get vitamin A?..........his staple diet is...

https://www.chameleonforums.com/help-chameleon-has-fallen-22259/index14.html on page 14 there are new pics of jack.....and his current status ...........his eyes are super bulgy sometimes now...............i have both these threads going now, didnt intend for both to get so many responses...

nah, i know that chams have bulgy eyes, but this is strange bulgy, like almost looks like he cant point his pupils forward, like they're so bulgy that they are just stuck outwards...................can you see it in the pic? or is it just me..................it was enough to take me aback when i...

also, does she ever get d3 supps?............i had some senior members tell me they should be getting d3 supps about twice a month or so, just dusted on food. i know you said that she ignores all other foods, but you should try her on some crickets, some members here also told me that they are...
