it’s the very first time i’ve ever had to do this by myself (i wasn’t around to put my dog down when i was younger) so it was really awful. i know deep down that i did absolutely everything i could have for her but even still, it feels like it wasn’t enough and it feels like i failed her. i...

it was what was best for her and i wasn’t going to force her to carry on when she couldn’t do it anymore. i was very grateful they let me be there for the procedure 💚

she was a very brave little thing who took everything i gave her and did her very best but it all caught up with her too quickly

yeah i told her on our way to vet that it was her choice and whatever she wanted to do i would be ok with, no matter how hard it was for me. she deserves so much more than what she got

i am so incredibly devastated to say that i put pascal to sleep this morning. after a week and a half or so of doing really well, it was her time and she was no longer able to grasp the branches and her eyes were incredibly sunken in. she put up a really good fight but ultimately, she decided...

i understand! it was the only thing that’s as fully screen in stock and i figured slightly small is better than the glass he was in and because he’s so itty bitty it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. like i said, i will be getting some good live plants tomorrow when they open (they’re...

pascal has a new home! i know mesh is much better for them as it helps with ventilation so today i grabbed a small mesh enclosure to keep pasta on and tomorrow i will be stopping at the plant shop to pick up some plants (wandering jews, pathos, monstera cuttings etc.) i am very excited for...

i had asked the vet about this actually but she was a bit more familiar with the critical care which is why she gave it to me. also when i do adjuster door or meds i usually drop a bit on his lips and let him open up for me that way to make sure he’s doing it himself but he’s so quick about...

i will definitely ask the vet about this thank you 😊

i’ve actually started using live crickets! when he opens his mouth to take some water or meds i wait until i know he’s swallowed everything and slip tiny ones in his mouth. today i mashed some of them up to mix it not the carnivore care to make it taste better for him. i have to grab some...

i didn’t know that about gendering them thank you! when we saw the vet she didn’t think there was an active infection but she gave me some antibiotics just so we could be safe. he’s been using his eyes a bit more too which is a very good sign. i have to go back in a few weeks to make sure that...

yeah unfortunately pascal was being outcompeted by the other chameleons in the store and got sick really fast. however, he has shown really great improvement in just a week and he drinks from his leaves really well and once he starts opening his mouth and i get the first dribble of meds going he...

so here are the pictures i took after his shower today. not sure if the black bump in the first photo is a spur or just something that got caught on his foot. also he opened his eyes a little bit to question me on why i was trying to put a cricket in his mouth

i can definitely try to take better photos of his feet :) also he’s taking meds because he is so skinny and dehydrated and the vet didn’t think he has an active RI, but she gave me an antibiotic just to be safe. i attached a photo of the antibiotics and on top of that, he gets fed 0.1 mL of...

so my sweet little pascal has decided he now wants to fight taking meds and i can’t tell if it’s a good or bad thing. one one hand, he’s strong enough to resist me prying his mouth open to syringe feed but on the other hand, i need him to take his meds so it’s kind of a bittersweet thing. so i...

i don’t think he’s a sanctuary per se but i think he allows people to bring him animals from time to time. my professor is familiar with him and is the one who suggested it

i hope so too! i said in my other post he will brought to an education center when he’s back to health so if anyone is interested, he will be taken to Mr. Drew and His Animals Too in Lewiston, Maine. this was he will be properly cared for and won’t go to a breeder or a potentially incorrect home :)

he’s been very active lately! he’s been using his eyes a bit more to get around during the day and he’s been climbing up and down more and i’m so happy with how well he’s been handling everything

i know i’ve already posted a lot but pascal is continuing to do well! he is not so good at eating his carnivore care but i was able to wipe some up on a cricket and trick him into eating it. he was weighed today and came in at a whopping 0.1 ounces so we have quite a bit of growing to do. we did...

they were extra small ones probably no more than a centimeter big
