Our very friendly Kevin has passed today...he was wc and had an incredible amount of parasites and a terrible thermal burn from at the time he joined our family...we took Kevins body to the Atlantic veterinary college this afternoon and donated him to the specialists as a learning experience and...
It's been an incredible struggle for Kevin and today he passed away at home in the late afternoon. we will miss him dearly and want to thank everyone for their support and help with Kevin's journey...
This morning while i was misting and feeding kevin i noticed a soft slight protrusion on his lower abdomen it is soft and not painful to him as far as i know and it isnt bulging...he is also in the midst of a shed...could it just be some poop moving along in his intestines?
Butterworms have been causing quite a stir ( discoloration etc)and I was wondering if it is something to omit completely from Kevin's diet? Any news or info on this subject?
So Kevin's bowl movement had two worms that were living just now. He was treated two weeks ago with a dewormer the vet gave us and I have never seen anything in his droppings until today...and in my dismay I scooped up the poo examined it and flushed it...damn! Anyways should the worms be...
ok so here is my day so far. yesterday i noticed kevin had a lot of saliva in his mouth and i worried he had an upper respiratory infection. I called the vet that we have been seeing and took him in at nine am today. he forwarded us to a specialist at the veterinary university and we saw...
Hi kevin isnt eating as he was before he had his parrasite meds. I have seen him drink but only eats a tiny amount (eg. three crickets in a week) so I am confused with what to do. He looks well (hydrated) and I have offered him crickets,butterworms, waxworms, hornworms and superworms but he...
I am still struggling with kevins sex...I posted a pic of him in the general photography section last week under "kevin.." ( please see older post)and had some response to the pic with thoughts that he is male...my only issue is the pics that i see of males have a fairly pronounced lump, which I...
So I have had Kevin for 14 days now and he had his first round of dewormer on thursday (4days ago) each day since the medication he has taken a tiny poop and today his behaviour is quite different. Normally Kevin is fairly lethargic but does drink and eat....since the medication he has only...
Kevin has arrived on our doorstep with a lot of issues - 3 types of worms, malnourished, dehydrated, severly under weight ... to list a few. One concern is his bruising (at least that is what i believe it to be). Here are two photos:
This is Kevin when he is displaying his lighter colors and...
I just weighed my chameleon this afternoon because he needs to take a dewormer that the vet prescribed and he is 83grams...he is approximately 1 and this seems light??? I have only had him for eleven days and they have been busy
My chameleon named Kevin dose not want to drink I have tried misting him and he has a continuous drip but I am concerned that he is dehydrated any suggestions?
I am a new chameleon owner! honestly though I have no idea what species ( i was told panther and that he was captive bred and 8 months old) but none of this seems right. I went to the vet with him (specialist from the texas zoo) and he has three different kinds of worms and cant really tell his...
