A sad choice.

[unknown]

Tomorrow I am going to set up an appointment for Bert to go to sleep... He is wasting away and I fear that he has something horrible like cancer. With no sizeable improvements despite fluid injections and antibiotics, it hardly seems fair to continue giving him nutrients to sustain this terrible condition. He has not pooped in a month, although he passes urite (white/runny). Even with a diagnosis, there is little to be done.

If I can afford it, I will get a necropsy, but times are tight in my world these days. So it is time. He has started to bite at my hand when I have to handle him for treatment, feeding and watering, indicating that he is done with all of it, and I don't want our last days together ones of distrust and fear.

I'm very sorry. I'm sure you've done everything you possibly could.

What a hard decision to make ... but it sounds to me like you are making the right one.
I'm sorry, I know you will miss him.

You are a good person and accepting this is an unselfish thing to do. My thoughts are with you.

I have been there also but it sounds like the right choice. We just put down one of our english bullies 2 wks ago. My condolenses.

I am so sorry for the pain you must be going through.

I am so sorry. But you're making the right decision. I know this is hard, I had to do it for my dog. But you'll feel a lot better knowing he's not in pain anymore. My condolences go out to you.

I'm so sorry. I'm glad he has someone strong like you as an owner to do the right thing by him.

 

[Miss Lily]

It's awful to have to make 'the' decision that all owners/keepers dread. It just hurts that the kindest thing for them is also the hardest thing for us! I am thinking of you. Tiff.

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. Bert and I said our last goodbyes this morning. He was a beautiful creature and I will miss him dearly.

I may not be around as often, but I will surely be back if, in the future, I am blessed by another chameleon.

Thanks again, guys... You're all amazing for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

RIP dear Chameleonbert, I love you!
