actually, no. loose bugs leads to bug bites. cricket loves to munch on chamies, and the pygmies are cute and tasty.

look.. im doing everything I can to help you. my vet is good. make. an. appt. an emergency vet will charge you more than double just to see him, than my vet will. and if you cannot afford the surgery through my vet either, then you cn have a cheaper euthanasia.

they wont let you make an appt? at this point, 12 hours isn't going to make or break this situation. some vets do payment plans, or care credit. unfortunately, euthanasia is a cheaper "correction".

can you post some photos of him and the cage please?

the vet should still be able to prescribe an anti biotic for the eye, or for internal use. for th eyes, I wouldn't know what to prescribe for that, but the in general broad spectrum anti biotic we usually use is baytril.

could be the stick, esp if you didn't wash it and bake it. could just be an infection.

best friends takes care credit.

im not sure what youre asking here. the lab culture is required IMO, and the blood work would be highly recommended. the eye is an infection, tht stuff on the skin could be a fungus, could be pus from him rubbing his eye on himself and it sticking to his skin, who knows.. but a vet would.

you can try to get some saline drops (like people who have contacts use) make sure the saline ingredients says only saline, and put a drop or two in the eye. you can also do extra extra long warm water mists and/or showers. If it doesn't stop after a day or two, then you need to see a vet...

that's probably why he has MBD then. just the uvb bulb and some crickets here and there, and im betting you havnet gutloaded the bugs either, aren't enough to keep chams healthy.

call them back and ask for an apt for tomorrow! as I said, if they are full you can take my already scheduled appt. do you have a uvb bulb? do you use supplement powders?

the x ray may not be needed right now, but the blood work is good to check for any internal issues, (liver, kidney etc) and the lab culture is needed to determine what the infection is an the best meds to treat it. baytril is the go to for anti biotics for chams, but there are others that may...

he needs a vet like now. that eye turret looks seriously infected, and that yellow stuff on his skin, could be G-d knows what.

yup yup. :D

the things I suggested are what the vet will do. either remove it, or get it back inside. those are the options. the vet can determine which option is better though. im leaning towards amputation though. and if that happens, its nto soo bad, he can live without it. as long as there isn't...

Call best friends animal hospital in Gaithersburg md. Dr Hoffman is fantastic. I take all my chammies to her. she just did a surgery for me to remove one o fmy chameleons tongues. shes in surgery today, but you can try for an apt for tomorrow. I actually have my own apt scheduled...

since its probably too dry to go back in yes. they can do surgery to remove the hemepene (assuming that's the part it is). if its not too dry, they can surgically put it back in, put a stitch in the vent, and it can heal.. however, at this point, removal is probably the best step. esp...

pictures would help.

That's a prolapse and you need to see avet, like yesterday. you cant pull it out because its attached to him on the inside!! go to a vet. if you don't want him to die.

Never pull off shed. you can damage the new skin.
