Hi Jake glad to hear he is doing much better. In my experience, yes it was the de-parasiting that made him dehydrate. This is what happened to mine and no matter how much he drank or I sprayed he always had orange urate.
Now just wait. If it keeps working, he will start passing some huge...
No problem Jake. My guess(hope so) is that the worms you ordered will do wonders for you cham. Im sure yours is different but my ambi cant stand hornworms but will eat as many silkies as I can give him. Every cham is differrent and if you see a dramatic change than if I were you keep them as a...
Hey Jake, I have experienced this with my ambilobe months back. Almost a perfect match of the symptoms and causes that you currently have . He had been treated for parasites, always had orange urates and little appetite no matter how much he drank. I really think it was the foods I was giving...
I took my ambilobe outside one day when he was about 8-9 months old and he started doing it the second he got up in a tree. I wondered if it might of had something to do with marking his territory as he also did it in his cage.
Hey golf my Ambilobe had the same problem about 5 months ago. Come to find out, he was infested heavily with coccidia. I effectively treated him with the drug ponzuril and it cured him after a second fecal was done.
I kept him well hydrated as mine drinks from the bottle like yours did. But...

I used to carry a couple different species of dart frogs a couple years ago. I really took satisfaction in being able to get both species to breed, and in turn change those tadpoles in to froglets. After a 2 or 3 years it kind of got old not being able to handle them at all ,so I went with a...
Hey sticky tongue, I live here in Kokomo. I can really get good umbrellas or pothos at lowes here in town on highway 31. I would imagine you could do the same down there. If not you should take a drive up here to our lowes. They do not have the ficus though. You can get them a couple different...
Have you tried to contact Elliot at Northwest Chameleons? If he cant do it im sure he probably knows someone overthere that could. I would really look in to it, I really think it would help her out.
Have you been able to get any of the Reptaid yet? If not I would def get some overnighted to you. My cham had been sick also just last week. I put an order in and after three days of double dosing him ,he is already made the turnaround and is eating on his own again. I had to force feed for...
Im hoping he is making a turnaround now. I just got him to drink a sh*t load of water for the first time in three or four days. I just had it mainstreamed to the front of his mouth and he couldnt get enough( think drinking fountain). It was pretty funny and a little settling. Not out of the...
Hey sandra just thought i would give an update. I just got a fecal from him this morning. So I need to take it to the vet and get it tested. He did pass another worm like thing in is stool.I dont really know if he has improved or not. His colors still look great. Still not eating on his own. I...
No actually not sure what it is at all. I saw this the other morning on top one of his leaves. The vet said he didnt see any eggs, but that it did resemble a parasite of some sort. He said it looked like it had a mouth, or something like that, but he said it was mostly digested so he couldnt...
Just thought I would let everyone know how Elway is after a trip to the vet. I didnt make it to the reptile specialist as I mentioned I was gonna do. Yesterday I had to start forcing some dusted crickets in his mouth since he hadnt eaten in two days. I actually got the chance to speak with one...
You know thats kind of what I thought at first too. But now I think its an infection of some kind. Yesterday his right eye was closing on and off. He went to sleep about 15 min before the lights went out last night. Today is much of the same thing. Hasnt eaten, but still drinking and the right...
K thanks for the reply. The compact is no longer on the cage, just the linear. Could that linear already be bad after three months? Im taking that to the vet as well for testing. During this time of the last month, He has really been acting weird. He crawls down to the bottom of the cage...
