Would that show up in an x-ray? Are they treatable? The vet gave me an antiparasitic called metronidazole because he suspects he may have parasites but we can't get a fecal sample because he hasn't gone to the bathroom. We did decide to not treat with the antiparasitic until after we finish the...

I actually saw that link a while ago and thought the same. The vet said he seems to think that he isn't impacted though. He said it doesn't look as if his feces is hard. They prescribed lactulose for him and I'm hoping it helps. He looks super bloated today after giving it but so far he hasn't...

Dang it! I will look when he opens to see if I can visually see anything. The vet had no idea also. I really appreciate what help you have given me. I'm fairly new at chameleons and any help is much appreciated. Any suggestions to help a long a BM?

Can be shoot his tongue out all the way? Does he adjust his tongue (move it around in his throat or expand the gular pouch at times)? Did he have any trouble with ingesting the critical care diet? Throw up after? Yes he shoots his tounge out and his tongue looks very healthy. He just starts...

I need help again! My chameleon has been struggling with an URI which turned into pneumonua and he is so up and down. One Dec nd he is stable and doing well and the next he is vomiting, lethargic, and declining. He is currently on Baytril and he has not had a bowel movement in over two weeks. He...

I finally got him to eat this evening!!!!! 3 super worms with calcium, spaced them all about an hour apart in hopes to not upset his stomach. I'm hoping that he keeps them down. So far so good! He usually vomits in the middle of the night though and it's currently 10:44pm here. Keep fingers...

Here a couple pictures of him from this morning. Yesterday and the day before he wasn’t doing much mouth breathing but today he is pretty bad for some reason. I did try the big juice this morning and got him to eat a little. He’s being such a terd though! He will let me put only a little in his...

Ok so update on my little guy. I ended up taking him back to the vet on Tuesday because he was really struggling to breathe and not eating or drinking, I thought for sure it was the end. The vet took a look at him and said his URI has now turned to pneumonia but he still had quite a bit of...

Do you have a specific brand of calcium without phosphorus Ana D3 that you like? I'm having a hard time finding any local

It's 7:00am my time and he is still coughing but he slept well last night and this morning he is climbing around his branches. When I woke up he did have his head up. If he were to have a blockage is there anything a vet could do?

That's exactly I was worried was the branch situation. I did notice pieces of the branch missing, not very big though. Unfortunately my mister only goes to 120 second so I think I'll do that and a dripper every day. I don't think he will make it either but there has been days he acts horrible...

My other chameleon has a full mesh cage and I was going to get the same but the pet store owner assured me this one was best because I live in the desert and it's really hard to keep humidity up here. He said it's the perfect combo to keep enough moisture in but still ventilate

Thank you for the reply. I will get the heat lamp thing switched tonight. And yes they had the coconut husk substrate and the vines you are talking about. I also have both in his current cage I'm assuming it's bad! I did switch his mister to 2 minutes and also did the cup on top the cage and...

Sorry about that, in New to this Ana trying to figure it out. The first one I realized I didn't post the questioner, the second one I accidentally posted in general instead of health so then I posted in the correct one with the questioner and now I can't figure out how to delete the other two.

Cage Info: Cage Type - It's a very large custom made glass tank, has screen front and top though for ventilation. What are the dimensions? Not sure but I know it's a 50 gallon tank Lighting - Not sure on brand but he has a large strip uvb light, a 75w tropical day lamp, and a 60w night lamp...

Here are a few more pictures of him and his cage.

This sounds like exactly what my panther has going on. He is currently on SEPTRA but doesn't seem to be responding. Any idea what antibiotic is best used for this type of infection?

Thank you! I called the vet again and he is saying he needs a stool sample to treat the parasites but I'm having a hard time getting one because he isn't having a BM very often due to the lack of appetite and vomiting so I figured I would at least start him on that meanwhile until I can get a...
