One of my Chameleons has passed on and I am trying to simplify my life so I am selling off everything that housed Jim starting with my MistKing misting system. I am asking $150 or best offer. If interested PM me. I will post pictures soon.
Status....
He has been taking his medication he has been re-hydrated but still the sores in his mouth will not go away so this means he still is not eating nor moving around much. I think I will call the vet today and let him know his status.
Mine is suffering from what I fear is a sinus infection but we are treating the sores on his lip with internal medication and applying a small swab of listerine to the infected area.

Thanks for your wishes, he seems to be much better his face and eyes are looking better his two pillows on the back of his head are filling out again and I am taking him to the vet today. I am sure now that he has mouth rot in his mouth I applied Listerine while I wait to have his mouth flushed...
The vet recommended a swab of listerine around the gums. We are going to treat him for worms and he is testing his fecal today and if any parasites are found I will take him in to see him today.

He looks like he is getting better...
I know this will be a long road but he is showing great signs of improvement after one day. Things I did...
Force hydrate with Pedilite
Moved environment outdoors
Changed 18" Fluorescent to Reptisun 5.0 UVB
Changed Basking to 75 watt basking light...
I took both his lights basking and UVB he is in the shade most of the day and only getting a few hours of sun and on an overcast day like today with the air temp this morning at around 68 I thought a little warmth would help
