I'm taking both of my chameleons in for a check up and fecal test monday, I was wondering if I should also have blood work done? Or is that not necessary?

All it does is check for one kind of parasite correct? Or can it tell more then just that?

Yeah it checks for parasites in the blood, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut really if your chameleon had a parasite load in the blood....you'd know.
Up to you, but definitely not necessary unless your cham looks like it's been touched by Death.

Ok, thanks. Now that I think of it, its probably really easily to take to much blood from a chameleon when doing a blood test, especially since all my chameleons are small little guys

I'm actually going to a vet in Las Vegas. School ends this thursday. But what vets do you go to Kent? Good to know for next year

Recently I've been going to Dr. Todd Cecil at the Emergency/Specialty Hospital off Jackson Dr. in La Mesa and have been very, very impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm for chams. I think all the other vets in town are very good, especially Dr. Boyer in Penasquitos and Dr. Brown's Rancho San Diego Animal Hospital. Never had a bad experience at any of them.
