Question: How can I treat an RI in a 3 gram baby veiled chameleon? Anyone know a good Herp dr in southern NJ?
Hiya! I recently bought a veiled chameleon from.... ugh... Petsmart. He showed signs of an infection from day 1 (eye closing). Eventually he started bubbling and popping so I took him to the vet. Vet was not good with Chameleons, he said the chameleon looked healthy even though I told him it's closing its eyes and bubbles coming out of it's mouth, he also said they would not treat the chameleon as it's too small to find an accurate dose. Since then I've acquired some Rept-aid and 10% generic Baytril. I've been giving him the Rept-aid (1-2 drops 2x a day) and I'm on day 7 right now but he seems to be getting worse. I'm seriously considering giving him the Baytril after the 10 days that Rept-aid recommends but he's only 3 grams... I will post the "ask for help" sheet when I get home. Thanks
