Dehydrated Veiled Cham

[WildCHILD400]

Im sorry to say this, your chameleon will die without a vet. there is nothing we can do to help. he look in pain and probably with infection of organ faillure its hard to tell. At least if you dont have money for exotic you can ask for euthanasia? :/

Its not I dont have money. I Am calling vets tmr asap. If they tell me hes in pain I wont make him suffer and ill ask for euthanasia.

for tonight, leave him alone, in cold humid space where he can rest (dont heat him this will be a mistake only encouraging the growing of bacteria and provide him more disconfort and dehydrating him (more heat = lost of water)
call the vet tomorow and knock on wood

Unfortionately the best option for today was euthanasia but know I know my Buddy isn't suffering. Thank you for all of your guidence

So sorry for your loss. Keep him in your heart.

Sorry for your lost thanks for bringing him to the vet this was the humanistic things to do! Don’t hesitate if you buy another one to come here and talk about husbandry it’s peace and calm all for the best interest of the animal

 

[MissSkittles]

So very sorry that he didn’t make it. I know it was hard but you did what was right for him.

 

[Kaizen]

Very sorry to hear this. You’re always welcome here.

Im sorry that he didn't make it. Sometimes letting them go is just the best choice.

Sorry for your loss, did the vet ever figure out what was wrong with it? If you want, we can still review your husbandry to prevent this in the future.

The vet said it could gave been different things but we agreed it was mostlikely he ate an infected cricket and just went rapidly downhill from there. He did inform me on ways to make chameleon husbantry better in the future although I don't plan on having another chameleon for a while.
