Cost of visiting vet (?)

[kaytiller]

Okay, so I'm asking this because I have a daily limit on my debit, and want to take out money if need be before the visit xD
I'm taking my baby girl to the vet tomorrow because I believe she has become impacted I've tried most everything, and nothing.. for quite a while..
If anyone has had experience with this, what is the vet treatment? And how much does that normally cost

Each vet sets their on prices. My reptile specialist charges $65.00 for an office visit plus extra if he does X-rays, blood work or gives out meds. I hope your girl will be ok. Have you tried allot of extra hydration? That usually helps.

All vets are different as far as what they charge. You will have to pay an office visit and most likely xrays. My vet charges $32 for visit and around $75 for xrays. Never had a cham impacted before so not sure what else they will do for that. How long has it been since your chameleon has gone to the bathroom? Is he eating and drinking still???

She's still eating entirely fine, like has no problem snatching up crickets, I've even limited food supply trying to get her to poop... However im not sure about her hydration, I mist frequently (4 times a day +) but I've never seen her drink in the 3 months I've had her. Obviously she is though or she wouldn't quite be alive
It's been about 2 + weeks since she's last pooped and it absolutely kills me.. I've been trying everything in the mean time, hence why it's taken me so long to get her to the vets..

Are you 100% sure you have not missed the poop in the cage? This has happened to me and I end up finding it in the rocks of the plant, on the side of a branch hanging...etc. I don't know how she could be eating for two weeks straight without pooping.

It's boggling my mind too. I cleaned out the cage this weekend and naughta.. I even recently put in a waterfall because I read on here they like to poop near running water

The thing is besides the poop she hasn't shown any problems of being sick, doesn't look in pain, she doesn't seem weak, is eating fine, doesn't sleep during the day, is acting like her generally normal self :/
