He had a fall. Was found mostly on his back, in water (3/4 of an inch? - I was neglectful and waited to suck up the water till the next day).
He was very dark, cold and unresponsive. It took 20 mins of rubbing him, trying to get water out of him and a heat lamp-- at 20 mins or so he very...
Multiple vet visits with a trusted exotics vet along with proper UVB and supplements for over a year (while in our care) AND the problem is considerably worse since the accident where he nearly died.
I really need enclosure ideas so he is safe, comfortable and happy.
Cheers
MBD has been ruled out.
I have some ladders and vines...but he lets go or grabs himself or just doesn't seem to know to put his feet (at times, esp. The left one)- then he falls over and pretty much lays there until we check on him and fix him. My husband works from home and checks on him...
The green hammocks or the brown viney type?
UVB is a t-5 Arcadia 10%
Suppliments: daily calcium no d3; calcium +d3 and multi vit every two weeks.
He generally only eats crickets gut loaded with PIG and some veg. (We stick to crickets because he likes them and we appears to chew them...
My male veiled, a rescue on death's door, had been improving for over a year- getting stronger, climbing somewhat improved, etc. Had an accident and nearly died...anyhow we think he has brain damage. He is unbalanced, will let go while climbing, regularly grabbing front legs with back..leading...
Thanks for your reply-- I forgot to mention that the latest xray showed much more dense bone in his arms...lumpy bone-- not smooth. And before the fall/ incident I only notices a small roundness and the "double elbow"..not this drastic change...
My guy's pop is always runny and wet...and so are his urates. I notice cricket bits in the poop as well-- His diet is mainly crickets. He gets proper dusting of them. I have had his poop tested several times, and each time they have found nothing. Is this normal?
My panther chameleon Mr. Ed is less than a year old. We have had him since we was 2.5 months old, and we own his "daddy". We thought we were doing everything right...the same has we had done for the two other chameleons we have. Turns out the coil UBV bulbs did not do much and much to my...
UPDATE-- LOTS of urate crystals... see picture
He finally pooped after more than a week!
This is what I got....
Please see my attachments... (hope it works)
I have since upped his mistings about 80%.
Anyone know why I have a beautiful urate and crazy crystals in the same poop.... :(
supplements-- exo-terra-multi-vitamin powder; zoo med calcium with D3-- I have to admit the dusting varied. Usually 2-3 x week for both (not at the same time).
Frankly he doesnt eat enough -- so I try to my best to give him something.
His bugs (mostly supers, meals, less often butters...
Andee...
Hey -- so he usually eats superworms, meal worms, hornworms (1 every couple weeks), butters, wax sometimes. He will NOT eat crickets. And he eats mostly after he poops, and then it dwindles.
We do give showers...
His UV light has a month to go before changing.
The exo-terra have...
I have a year old panther cross-- he was doing so well up until i changed his terrium from a planted tank to a bare bottom tank. It's an exo-terra tank-- 4' high and 2 x 2 (wxd). He has a few live plants and fake ones with many vines/branches. His temps for day time are 80-90 in the basking...
