    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Thank you all for your thoughts. I am sad. I am also disheartened by the number of health issues posted here. Some of the threads that I have read it seems like the owners new what they were doing yet their cham still developed problems. Prior to Puffs departure my wife and I were...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Sad news Got a call from the vet. Right ovaduct came out fine. Left ovaduct had ruptured eggs. These were hard and had a lot of buildup around them and her organs. He have me 3 choises. 1. Remove what he can. Not a good idea. Too much damage. Rising bill with little chance of success. 2. Sew...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    When to see another vet today. This one has done surgery on egg bound chams before. He recommended 3 days of oxytoxin shots, to see if we can get her to lay them naturally. Since it has been 4 weeks since she first dug a hole in the laying bin we agreed that if she does not go naturally by...

    back to the vet today - melleri with infected feet

    So any idea what caused this. About a year ago my veiled had a swollen foot. I thought she sprained it by doing some acrobatics in the enclosure.

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    I didn't even know you could give an cham and enema. She did it just in case some of the mass in the x-ray was fecal matter and not all eggs. Eggs are evident in some areas but much of it is just a white blob. Yes I am going to have vet one send the x-rays to vet #2 (or vet #3). She is...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    I called 2 additional vets to see if any one had done this surgery on a cham before. I got a call back from one place and the secretary said yes the doctor has done this before on a cham. However the first doc called back to check progress. I told her that I was looking for a vet that has...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Many phone calls and I was finally able to see a vet that had reptile experience today. As expected, x-rays revealed eggs. I was not too happy about this visit. The Vet did not seem to know too much about chameleons. I think the receptionist thought that all lizards are the same. The vet...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Kicking myself for doubting my initial thoughts. She has been gravid 3 or 4 times since I've had her. This time she was gravid was a little different than before. Less floor roaming. No interest in digging in the laying bin at first. So I took the bin out for a week or so. Saw more roaming...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Can't get an appointment with a Vet for a week. Not sure sure how long before this becomes an emergency. She seems to be fine other than the low appetite and discoloration. She eats from my hand still and is climbing around like normal. Strong grip still. I'll call another vet tomorrow...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Thanks guys. She did the dig 2 weeks ago but did not look that much skinnier. She dug two holes and didn't fill one in. The other only partially filled (possibly just collapsed). Then she was not interested in digging anymore. So I thought she was done. Actually, I thought some of her size...

    Is this a bruise, infection, burn?

    Our female veiled cham has a strange color patch of skin (see pics) this is only on the left half. It stops at her spine, and right at the line down the center of her belly. The left rear leg has this coloration too. She is about 3 yrs old and seems to be doing well other than this. Her...

    Dusting my veiled cham

    The petsmart people that sold me my cham were also clueless. Some how my cham survived despite 2 years of following their bad advice. I would alternate every day, calcium (with d3), multi vit, nothing. Fed 10 large every day. So it did not kill her. But her 1st clutch of eggs was 60...

    How Much Food Is Enough

    What does an obese cham look like? I have female veiled about 2.5 yo. I was feeding her 10 large crickets a day with a super worm here and there (I was not too educated on proper cham care.) I have since cut back. She looks good to me. But I don't have anything to compare her with.
