    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    My sweet girl passed away peacefully at home with me next to her. 🦎💜 I’ll miss her forever. I had an appointment to put her down tomorrow evening but I am glad she is no longer suffering and passed away in the comfort of home and surrounded by my husband and I.

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    She is still the same, but she made it through the night. Lethargic but coloring is still the same, normal controlled breathing. I’m thinking I should give her a break today from fluids + carnivore care since it made her stressed yesterday? She is just resting in her lay bin, doesn’t move...

    Okay, she’s been mostly sleeping and laying down since the incident. Now her lights off for the night and she’s asleep. She’s been breathing normally and normal green coloring. Mouth has stayed shut.

    A couple of hours after her first bowel movement + urates this morning it looked like she also had some runny feces.

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    No it’s a super small washcloth so she still has her whole laying bin available. I was able to give her more fluids via syringe only onto her tongue making sure she swallowed between drops. However she did bite down on the syringe super hard and didn’t let go for a good 15 seconds. Then she got...

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    Update: she did have some urates and poop this morning. The urates were mostly white with a tinge of yellow. Her poop was solid but with a little mucus. Not sure if that was due to the medications? She is still lethargic and she’s resting on and off. I put a small washcloth towel on top of her...

    Thank you for linking that article. Her edema is a lot better this morning and her arms are no longer swollen. Her horn is a tad puffy still but a lot better than yesterday. She should definitely be having some urates any time now with the carnivore care + water I’ve been giving her. I also read...

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    No he didn’t. I was thinking the same thing possibly since she may not be retaining the fluids? At this point, all I can do is supportive care for her. Like I mentioned unfortunately I cannot afford more testing like bloodwork/ x rays/ surgeries, etc. so I’m just trying to do the best I can to...

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    Yes thank you please review my first post. Yes I do agree on the edema and the vet said that was to be expected from the subq fluids?

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    So she has not had any urates or feces since last week. They were mostly white/ drier looking than usual maybe a tinge of yellow but no orange. But clearly since she has had no urates at all this week, that is a reason for concern. She was usually always regular going twice sometimes three times...

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    Update: I took her to a second vet this evening and the vet did a thorough palpate on her and also did not presume she retained eggs or is egg bound. He suggested an antibiotic and anti inflammatory injection for her to hopefully help with any potential infection. He also does not presume MBD...

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    Okay thanks so much for your time and information. The vet the other day said her basking spot should actually be up to 95 degrees? I didn’t agree with that. Here is her right arm. Again it’s extra puffy right now due to the edema from the fluids. And I am aware that she has some slight burns...

    Her first clutch was 70 eggs. Her second clutch was 50 eggs and her third clutch was around 25 eggs because I cut down on her food intake.

    Dehydrated Female Chameleon

    Hi all. This is my first post on here. My female Cham “Rango” seems to be dehydrated. She has been very lethargic the past three days. Yesterday she had sunken eyes. She has not eaten in over a week. I took her to the vet yesterday where they examined her and could not palpate any eggs (because...
