Hi everyone, I am having some trouble with my veiled chameleon Peach. I noticed that she was straining to go to the bathroom and was unable to poop. I tried giving her pear puree (she threw it up), and I gave her plenty of warm soaks while massaging her belly. I even gave her mineral oil to try to help and pedialyte to keep her hydrated. Nothing worked, so I made the decision on taking her to the vets after a couple of days. My vet soaked her and said he got her stool a little softened, then prescribed her with lactulose and told me to keep giving her the pedialyte as well. It has been three days, no poop yet. I'm honestly terrified, I can feel the poop inside and it's still pretty hard, and the poor thing is visibly dehydrated with broken ribs from straining so much. I am scared that I messed up on giving her too many superworms and that she didn't chew them all the way or something. Will those even be able to digest properly? Since today is sunday I can't call my vet but I plan on it tomorrow. I was just curious- has anyone else experienced this? If so, what are the next options for my Peach if this stuff doesn't work? I just don't want her to give up.
