RIP esteban...he didnt make it despite my best efforts

Update... Esteban is doing better but still on the way to recovery. He's being hand fed bug juice daily along with his antibiotics and eye drops. Also we've started putting terramycin on his eye...The swelling has reduced drastically and hes been more active. The vet said it would take the...

Fischer's seem to be tough ones to keep Sorry for your loss, I am going through a struggle to keep my sick fischeri kicking. I got him at a reptile show 3 weeks ago and did not know that he was WC (wild caught) until today. They are such docile chameleons and surely are not for beginners. I...

You should always separate a sick chameleon from a healthy chameleon. Even if you think she is not causing him stress what if the illness spreads to her via being in the same enclosure. What type of chameleons do you have?? I'm going through a tough recovery with my Fischeri who has a serious...

Impossible, he's not responding to anything and i cannot force his mouth open...he keeps closing his "good" eye and will not even drink now. He's show weird bright yellow splotchy colors in random places including between his horns...HELP i tried using a q tip to force his mouth open but it...

bug juice... I'm making bug juice as we speak. I have small syringes from the medication to feed him with. I will add the antibiotics to a small dose of bug juice and I will give him the pain medicine straight because he accepted it. Wish me luck. I found out that indeed my fischeri is WC...

Esteban is not doing well at all. He was laying at the bottom of his cage this morning. I gave him his eye drops already but his medication will have to wait until after work. I plan on feeding him bug juice to get some energy in his system. He has not eaten since Saturday:(:(:(...soo...

Sorry for your loss. I'm going through an eye problem with my Kiyongia right now and im not sure if he's going to make it. Took him to the vet today and they drained his eye of fluids and gave me some meds.

It is $90 but it includes shipping...Reptisun linear, got it...thanks lizboy Oat

Your henry is a beautiful little cham, I like your cage setup and after seeing your vine structure it makes me want to modify my own.

I plan on setting the fogger up on top of his cage so the fog drifts downward into his enclosure...can you point me in the direction of a cheap humidifier to use? i saw how to attach pvc to them via Chameleon E zine.

Good advice about the plastic wrap. I know they aren't cheap to care for but im expecting a few thousand dollar refund check from my college this week and i plan on getting him a larger cage and a digital thermometer/hygrometer as well as a larger tube reptiglo 5.0. Me and my girlfriend split...

a new hope... Carlton, All input is welcome late or not!! I do not know what the fluid was in his eye specifically and it would've cost another $100 at least just to find out. They did offer a culture test but they warned me that it was very expensive. As far as a cold compress I don't...

Well I was feeding him water with an eye dropper and as he hugrily lapped it up i switched to the pain medicine and he continued to drink unaware of the swap. Whoo one down...then i did the same with the antibiotics and as soon as he tasted it he jumped back in shock and shook his head with...

I just got back from the vet. They drained his eye through a small incision in the turret and gave me 3 types of medication. I did not get to watch this process although i would have liked to. The vets were verry rough with removing from his cage and didt wait for him to climb on their hand...

chameleon ok well like i said i was keeping him outside so he wasn't getting exposure from the cfl bulb when the eye problem occured. I will be updating to a new bulb after reading about conjuctivitis. As for now my cham needs help!! I am going to buy some tiny crickets to see if he's...

??? I'm still waiting on this answer myself. Someone mentioned not to use it earlier in the thread. I am assuming that I should be using the tube version of this bulb?

Sorry to hear about Ichi, I hope he pulls through. My Esteban is hanging in the balance as well with a swollen eye, yet he will not eat. I'm trying to find a vet to see him asap

yes i have tried all the vets listed in my area except one that i will call right now...

I have the exoterra reptiglo 5.0 (cfl) which I was told not to use after starting this thread. I do not have the packaging for my basking bulb so I'm not sure the brand although i do know it is a 65w basking bulb. Regardless of my lights I was keeping his cage outside due to the high...
