8mo Panther seemed okay, but on little thing

[tinypaws]

I thought something was a little off, but our panther chameleon was basically pretty healthy, he eats, drinks, runs around, but had this little cough thing.

I am posting as a warning to any newbee's like myself.

First vet says he can't cough since he has no diaphragm muscle, he was making some sound.

He had a mouth culture and found three pathogens:

) Pseudomonas
2) E. Coli
3) Enterococcus

Treatment is every other day, 10 time. (cost $58)

1) Cipro 16.6 mg/ml .06 ml
2) TMS 0.04 ml

He is doing great. I think the reason for my post is he runs around fine, likes to come out and run around, eats 7 large crickets at a time, but had this little cough I would hear maybe a couple times a day, or not at all one day. Seemed odd so I took him to the vet and he is actually could have gotten more sick.

Just started the meds today, had not idea how to do it, but my daughter and I watched a couple youtube videos and were able to do it. I suspect he will be fine.
