I have GOOD-ish news. I previously posted about my 2 1/2 y/o veiled who has been mysteriously sick for about 6 months, and I wanted to give an update in the hopes it may help someone experiencing the same problem. For months, my (general) vet kept running tests and taking x-rays and trying...

He suggested an ultrasound as soon as he called me about the x Ray findings. Will be $350 for the ultrasound. I’m not the type of person to give up on a pet because of cost, so of course I will do it, but I’m really digging myself into a hole here. I’m hesitant to go see a specialist because I...

Just posted x rays. My vet sent them to the specialist. It's just been a lot of "I see this, but I don't know why it's happening, let's try this, see if it works, it didn't? ok more exams and tests"

New update for Mars 2 yo veiled). She is still weak, falling more often. Oddly still a hungry girl, though. Still no conclusive diagnosis. Did another round of x rays, and found an enlarged heart and oblong liver. The vet said there may be a link to depression, which I've never heard of before...

Thank you! I used both those methods along with someone to help hold her and that worked. I'm so relieved.

My poor girl has gone through so many rounds of meds and has learned to recognize a syringe and keeps her mouth closed. She is on Baytril for 10 days right now and we're on day 3. Up til now I have used the "method" of coming at her a little quickly which usually has a response of puffing up and...

Thank you so much that is so incredibly kind. I truly appreciate the support and I hope your girl recovers soon as well <3

I just found the photo you were looking at- you're right it totally looked bowed out at first glance but was definitely the shadows! Thanks for checking :)

o my bad! here is the left side I gotta run but can get a photo of the back left later. no more spinach thanks! I put the insects in a container and a couple pinches of vitamin powder and shake them around. 5-10 large crickets every other day. currently feeding worms 7small or 4 large at a time...

It is 100% dark overnight. It gets super cold in the winter but it's finally starting to warm up somewhat now. The temp definitely drops at night, drastically during the winter, so I have to change lamps yearlong to adjust to room temp. I didn't know that they can handle it that cold so I'll...

I thought that too but the vet said the x-rays showed strong bones, and kidneys looked fine. The very first vet I saw basically said it's impossible to over-do it on calcium, but this vet, after doing bloodwork, said the levels were unusually high, and since I had been using a calcium supplement...

The x-ray showed her GI tract was inflamed. As far as the liver issue goes, the vet said there is really no way to know what caused it, same explanation with the GI prob pretty much. He isn’t a reptile specialist but said he did some research and it looks like it’s always a guessing game for...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - 2.5 y/o female veiled (I've had her a little over 2 years) Handling - Rarely since she's been sick, as I don't want to stress her out even more. Feeding - Currently: Worms only, sprinkled with calcium or multivitamin. Normally: I gutload crickets mostly...

The liver issue was determined by the levels in her bloodwork, and the GI problem was determined by the x rays. He also said bones look good but calcium is too high at this point. She is on metronidozole and metoclopramide for GI, and Oxbow Carnivore Care that I mix with water and feed her by...

She has liver and GI problems, on 2 meds and a special diet now. Did x rays and bloodwork- the vet says it's impossible to know the source of the renal problem or GI problem which is a bit frustrating. He sent the x rays to a reptile specialist who said her abdomen looks dense but they can't...

I watch her sit right under the automatic mistings, but I'll try the spray bottle too. Unfortunately things look worse now. I just watched her attempt to get a couple crickets but she was moving slowly, a little wobbly, and her tongue wouldn't extend. When she opened her mouth it was just a huge...

This is the wrinkly skin I was talking about. Does anyone ever syringe water? I used to do it once in a while when her saliva looked stringy. She will absolutely not sit still to soak (which is what the vet suggested and I almost laughed), and I don't want to keep spending $35 per sub q fluid...
