Help URGENT Cham is dying what can I do can’t take to vet

[Sir Charles]

Guys I need help my chameleon is dying

 

[kinyonga]

Some information and photos would help!
This is the chameleon with MBD...right??

Tell me what's going on with it and make sure you get your Mom to read the messages because I think you're very young right?? I'm hoping she will help you with it.

 

[Sir Charles]

He no longer has MBD but I can send pictures

 

[kinyonga]

Good that the MBD is corrected...but describe why you think he's dying??

 

[Sir Charles]

He isn’t eating or drinking he is not moved no and getting really skinny he is not responsive either

 

[Sir Charles]

Here is a picture

 

[kinyonga]

You are right he's dying. I don't know if he can be saved or not. Has he been pooping? Eating? Drinking?
Can he use his back legs?

 

[Carlton]

I think he's past help. Put him someplace cool, dark, don't disturb him...let him go on his journey in peace. Probably the kindest thing to do as a vet might just prolong the process and cause more stress.

 

[Jevin]

To me, it looks like the MBD might have progressed to the point of no return unfortunately. Unfortunately MBD can only be prevented from worsening and while the bones will regain their strength, they won't regain the original shape.

 

[Sir Charles]

So what do I do let him die or help him

 

[Carlton]

The most humane way to end his suffering is injection by a vet...but as you say you can't take him to a vet, leave him alone. He is very close to death now. Remove the stimulation from lights, disturbance, or handling. Let his brain cool down so he isn't aware of anything.

 

[Sir Charles]

Ok thanks for your help, you won’t be hearing from me for a long while

 

[kinyonga]

Can you talk to your Mom about it? It's a hard thing to decide.

 

[Sir Charles]

About what

 

[kinyonga]

Talk to your Mom about what to do and help you through this.

 

[Jevin]

I know how hard it is to have a pet pass away, especially one that you care a lot about pass away. My first chameleon literally fell from her vines dead when she passed. However, don't let it discourage you from trying again, especially with the knowledge you have gained both from the members on this forum and any research you have done yourself.

 

[Sir Charles]

What do you mean what to do

Just that it would be nice if she were there to support you and let you know you're doing what you can.

Ok
