Closing Eyes and Pale in Color

Kevin you're a good keeper! Make sure when using the Panacur as well as any meds keep the cham very hydrated.

I too admire you for being so concerned about your cham and not hesitating to get him right to the vet.

Aww, you guys are making me blush. Thank you Jann! Chams have really become my life.

Thank you for that, too Drea. Makes me feel better. They gave it to him at the vet on an empty stomach, so I just misted him and force fed two crickets. I'm going to be monitoring him very closely.

Damn, I didn't sleep at all last night and was reading the forum until almost 4 am. I just hope he gets through. He's a tough guy though, the most active of all our panthers.

Now, we'll be sending lots of fecals!

Draetish is Donna just so you know.

oh cool. Thanks for the heads up. Hi Donna. Have any of you experienced anything like this before?

Just purchased some Reptaid from the Gesangs. I'm excited to have it on hand and see if it helps give Ziggy a boost.

Sandy and Elliot are the best!

When my Sambava arrived Sandy called about 20 minutes later to see if how he was, and when a female of mine was sick they overnighted reptaid to me for her and our turtles.

Make sure you shake it really really well each time before administering, ive noticed that not shaking well makes the liquid dark, while "good shaking" makes it more amber (beer looking) in color.

Im not sure it if will help with pin worms... but I know it will help. If that makes sense.

good to hear the issue identified though, and wishing a speedy recovery

^^Hey thanks alot man. I really appreciate it. They are both very awesome people. It's been one crazy stressful week. My mom was in surgery for a cancer we just found out about and has been in the hospital for 10 days, and then Ziggy had this happen. Needless to say, I haven't slept much. I just need good news and things to happen from here.

Kwelp, you are amazing! You have so much going on but seem to be doing a great job of prioritizing and keeping things moving in a positive direction. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and I hope things work out well there. I know a lot about cancer and cancer research, so feel free to send me a PM if you want to talk.

I send my best wishes to your whole family.

 

[ChameleonAlley]

Thank you so much Elizadots! That is very very kind of you. Man, when it rains it pours I guess.

Well, it looks like Ziggy is almost 100% better. I still had to force feed him but he's drinking tons of water on his own. His color has returned, he hasn't been closing his eyes at all, and he's back to roaming his cage. Man, I really was scared he wasn't going to make it. He's still a little weaker than before this happened, but I'm confident that Ziggy is a tank!

Thank you everyone for all the great help.

So nice to read a thread with a happy ending.

Glad to hear that he's showing so much improvement! Sounds like he's well on the way to making a full recovery.
