Anyone Experienced This?

[Groovnmama]

My son's female 6 moth old Chamelon Roxy either passed or vomited up the first pic which appears to be tiny worm last night.
The 2ND pic is her stool from today.
If anyone has experienced this please let me know.
We are taking her to vet tomorrow.

Could be something related to parasites? Where do you get your feeders? Have you had her stools tested?

Were you the first owner, or has it possibly ever been around other reptiles?

make sure you take a fresh poo to the vet so they can test for parasites!

No we are the first owner.

Yes thank you ...we put both in a freezer bag in the fridge.

The vet said we were doing everything right as far as he can tell.
I am more curious to see if anyone has experienced this.

Any sort of vomitting or strange fecals like you showed are usually signs of parasites. What is you set up like? Can you fill out the form "how to ask for help?" stickied to the health forum? Does your vet have chameleon experience? Did someone who has healthy chameleons recommend him?

Yes the vet is an exotic one and has been doing this for years.

Exotic doesn't always mean he has experience, or generally knows anything, even if he has "experience", about chameleons. I have met perfectly good exotic vets that I would trust with a lot of my other reptiles, I wouldn't let them touch my chameleons however.

Fair enough however I do trust him. He was highly recommended.

So how did the visit go? Or has it not happened, yet?

Has not happened yet.

Ah. I would be willing to bet it has intestinal worms. Luckily, I believe that is an easy fix! Good luck! Keep us posted!
