Thanks Jann. Fingers crossed! Hope all goes well with yours too.

Surgery is scheduled for next tuesday It's done, I decided to move it till next week in the end. You all have been extremely helpful! I just hope I have made the right decision. The good thing is that the vet told me that if for any reason Ninja deteriorates to let him know, he might still be...

I forgot to let you know that the blood test was only done yesterday, the X-rays and the shots of oxytocin and calcium were the first things we did. Maybe we should have started with the blood test and then do the rest... I can't move the surgery date, they will charge me a fine otherwise. If...

Thanks for pointing this out! I'm not sure if this answers your question but she started showing symptoms (spending time in the bottom of the cage and slightly restless) around week and a half ago, give or take a day. That's when I realised she was gravid, I never noticed how fat she was since...

She would just shake the soil a bit with her feet, as if she was sweeping, but only for a minute or so, then she would just walk all over the laying bin. Noted on the gutload, thanks. Now that you mention, I also use sweet potato. I'll introduce more veggies to their diet.

She didn't dig at all, she pretended digging but that's it, she only spent some time in the bottom of the cage, explored the laying bins and that's it. She did the same in the other laying bins. Her poop is completely fine now, no signs of yolk. Yes, I have been supplementing her. I have a...

Thank you for the feedback, all these egg stories are just terrible. I'm sorry for your loss. How long did you wait before she had surgery? (from the time she was showing gravid symptoms). The X-ray has shown that she has eggs indeed but the vet wasn't sure if they were ready or not, he thinks...

Thank you very much for your reply. Really helpful information. My veiled has only been showing symptoms for over a week and a half and still looks very strong, the vet wants to operate this week already. I am convinced that she will need surgery is she doesn't lay, but shouldn't we wait a bit...

We already tried oxytocin without much success. The eggs are infertile anyway.

She is going to sleep now. She obviously looks quite chubby but the position doesn't help either. Healthwise, she doesn't look bad I think?

Have a look at this. Point number 4 is about food, but I recommend reading the lot. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/ I know referring to links is boring, but I found this very helpful in the beginning. You will also need to provide more details like age, what kind of chameleon...

We have already tried oxytocin, twice, but it didn't work unfortunately. If you don't mind, can you let me know about the surgery please? How risky is it? What's the long-term outcome? Are there usually complications (during and after surgery)? Thanks!

Got it! Yes, saw the edit. She still looks so healthy though but of course, I'm no expert. Thanks! Yeah, you might be right... Or he could be genuinely serious... Who knows... It's too late now anyway, so if anything, surgery will have to be on Friday. I have to let him know by tomorrow...

Who knows eat2muchrice ...

She has privacy indeed, her 4 foot cage has towels around it, all sides are covered now. I can only see her via the webcam I have installed inside the cage. Unless the noise disturbs her, tv, vacuum cleaner and those things... but I wouldn't imagine so. What do you think? Her laying bin also...

I think I trust him, he seems knowledgeable and he has even told me that he won't be offended if I wanted a second opinion, but I don't have any references of him, I have seen him 3 times in the last 4 days but that's it, I didn't know him before all this egg drama. He says he is very...

My female veiled has become egg bound, this is the first time she is gravid also, just left the vet and according to him it's too late for her, she won't be able to lay the eggs anymore. Apparently her calcium levels are very high (4.18) which means the eggs are fully formed and since they are...

Just like mine, I don't want to force feed her at this stage but I wonder if I should... How long has yours been showing symptoms? There has been no improvements throughout the weekend, in fact, she has stopped eating completely now. I have tried 4 different laying bins with all possible...

Beautiful chameleons! You have so many! They all look so happy and healthy! Very well done. No wonder you are able to give such valuable and welcoming advice to my posts. All the best for Lottie, hope everything goes as smooth as it should!

Hope you're right!
