Thank you! Obviously, I don’t blame the vet completely and recognize that I could have done my own research before blindly trusting him, and I don’t believe he had ill intent behind giving him dewormers. I’m just at such a loss without him, so I may have come off as blaming him solely, but I...
This will be a long post, but I encourage to read to the end. I write with a very heavy heart that my 3 yr and 10mo old panther chameleon Ja’Marr passed away this morning. He declined very quickly, and within two or three days of showing signs of illness, he passed. I want to share my experience...
there are no other lumps like that anywhere else on him, and his skin color is exactly the same as it has been in that area. i’m not TOO worried about it at the moment, as it doesn’t seem to both him at all even when gently touched/moved around/pressed on. glad to hear yours wasn’t bothersome !
I noticed a bump behind my 3 1/2 yr old male panther chameleons head/jaw area. This has only recently formed and is only on one side of his body. Could this be a tumor or infection? Any help is appreciated! he is acting completely normal, eating and drinking well, fairly active. (Would also like...
hi all! appreciate all the support with Ja’Marr, happy to say he’s doing much better! we got the silver sulfadiazine from the vet and i’ve been applying/washing/reapplying for a bit now. head is looking much much better. still eating and drinking like normal. figured i’d give a small update to...
went to the store to get the cream and was told i need a prescription. upset but nothing i could do about it, so i got a generic burn cream and saw iodine tincture that’s supposed to help with infections for burns. am i okay to use these on him or do i specifically need the sulfadiazene cream...
thank you so much ! will do
i pulled the 100 watt bulbs the next week or so after i got him, so about 3 years ago now and haven’t used them since.
thanks so much for the help, ill get a probe the same day i get his cream. we’re snowed in right now so unfortunately he’ll have to wait another day...
i’m using the zoomed screw in bulbs and 60 watt bulbs since 100 made it too hot, basking temp is around 85-88. i will get the sulfadiazine cream and see if that helps. vet said chameleon skin can take a while to heal after he got his small amputation, so how long would you recommend using the...
hopefully that’s good, if not i can get a better pic but over 3 years i’ve never noticed a burn on him. he also gets free roam quite often as we have a few fake trees and vines running from his cage around our (unused) dining room. the pus is hardened, i’m not sure how pus works on chameleons...
i don’t believe it would be a burn since i’ve used the same wattage bulb for 3 years. anything is possible but i’m definitely thinking of getting 2nd opinion. thank you !
First time poster, both chams have been healthy for about 3 years since i’ve got them. recently Ja’Marr, 3yr old panther cham had to get small part of his tail amputated. less than an inch, he had started to get tail rot which we believed he had caught it on something since he’s had no other...
