I tried to get him out today :) He was totaly fricked out. He stayed on my hand holding very tight. I will try again another day. We still have issue with one eye that not sheeded and was stucked and now the skin is very thiny and sensitive. I am waiting labaratory test.
One week ago we moved cage from one wall to another. Since then, every time I am close to the cage so he can see me, or open the door to handfeed him, he is running to me and want to run out the cage. He even get brighter colors when come in my hands.
I don't know, if I need to move the...
Thank you. This is relief after almost 2 months.
Vet was very skilled, and my cham was very calm and brave. He did not moved during procedure. It's all done without sedation.
Now we have other eye to heal, it wasn't sheed, and lot of layers were there. Now, there is very young skin, and I...
Just update. I was suspicious, but we were lucky. Vet have found the way to take out deposit from his eye. It was hudge white ball, maybe 6-7 mm, possibly created from old skin stucked under eyelid.
We wait now labaratory test for both eyes, but there is no that horrible bulge any more :)
It sounds like fear.
I have totaly oposite problem. My 5 month old panther running to me when I open door or I am even close and jump on my hend. I have filling that he want to escape from cage. It's freaky too.
I tried everything possible for one month, and more. Warm showers, saline flushed in the eye, Getamycin, Tobramycin in case of infection, even little doses of vitamin A. I will see tomorow if this vet can do something. It's blocking his vision, and his perception is not good so he miss the...
I am taking my 5 month old panther chameleon to the vet ophtamologist in 8 hours from now, to try to take out dirt stucked under the eyelid, or to determine what is there. It is university professor, but I have doubts if he have knowledge about chameleons. I believe he want to use anesthesia...
In monday I am going to a Verinerian university. There are the best vets we have, but they are not expirienced with reptiles. I am taking him to oftamology professor. If I understood well, they don't know to take out forein body from the eye without anesthetic. Is it normal to give young cham...
I started today with first drop of Cod Liver Oil.It's 2.500 IU vitamin A in there. Since he is 5 months old I believe this is good dosage.
I've spoke today on the phone with a professor from the Vet university in my city, known as a great vet and he is interested in reptiles and have some...
Thank you for this hudge explanation.
There is more then one month this problem persist. I brought vet to my home, end she does not think this is infection, but for every case I have used Gentamycin drops and ointment, later I have change it to Tobramycin. And everything is the same. If it is...

Unfortunately no, thank you. Eastern Europe, Serbia.Reptiles are still very exotic here. I found only one vet who wanted to see him, but I realised that I know more then she. You and lot of googling are all I have.
Well, I will fight, he is strong and beautiful, I will find the way to help...
My panther will be 5 months old at May 15th. I believe I can do the same with Cob Liver Oil since there is 2.500 IU per capsule.
Hope it will help with his eyes issue.I am removing gently piece by piece of multi layered old skin from his eyelid, but the young skin under is very thiny and flat...
I attend to give him Cod Liver Oil. But I am not sure how offten.It's 2.500 IU vitamin A and 270 IU vitamin D and some omega3 , EPA and DHA.
From his second to third month I was giving him Reptivit with D3 too much maybe, every or every second day. How to know if I overdose him then. I am very...
I fight with eyes problems more then 1 month. One eye have something under eyelid, vet can't help.
The other eye did not sheed 6 weeks ago and from then it is terrible. I tried everything, warm showers, saline solution flushed in the eye, gentamicin drops and ointment, now I am trying...
Wet was here. She is not thinking it is infection. I am using gentamycin ointment for every case, but no change. It is the same for amost one month. Eye is very clear,does not look infected. The redish skin is more likely his normal skin color.
