My veiled chameleon/sick

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have a female veiled chameleon and she is sick too. I actually have 2 females and that is why it is so easy to tell that one of them is clearly not feeling well. All except for the thing about the eye coming out, she is displaying the same symptoms as the previous blog. Also, her tongue is swollen and not expanding out as far as it used to. She turns a very dark brownish/black color when she is extremely lethargic. Anyone, could she have an obstruction in her mouth or stomach? These pets belong to my 5 year old son and 11 year daughter. My daughter is freaking out. Also, she seems clumsy and unbalanced. Although she is moving, she falls off the branches and moves about like she is drunk. She is eating and drinking.

For now though, it sounds like you have some serious problems, a vet visit is definatly in order, sounds like MBD and a few other problems

Pictures would be extremly helpful in making decisions as well.

PS* these are not the type of pet for a 5 and 11 year old *well maybe the 11 year old...maybe*

It sounds like you need to get her to a vet ASAP. Fill in this info "How to ask for help" and the members here can see if you are doing everything right but I really think she needs a vet also. Where do you live? Do you have a vet in your area that sees chameleons? Jann
