Hello everyone, you may remember the story of Eugene my 3 year old veiled. I made a really long post on here a few months ago.I took him to a different reptile vet and she had told me it was a bad case of gout and that it is extremely painful for him and I should really consider putting him down.
As much as my heart was broken I knew it was what was right for him. I feel guilty for putting him through all this pain for the last 10 months but I was trying everything under the sun to save him.
He was a trooper. I got him from a very sketchy breeder that, in hindsight, should have been avoided but I fell in love with him and took him home 3 years ago.
During the past 10 months of tests and me trying to cure him I bonded very closely with him. I spent hours outside in the sunlight with him everyday. I feel like a part of me is gone now that he is.
I have one beautiful panther chameleon named Floyd who is almost 4 now and I will be sure to give him extra love and attention. He is healthy as a horse and super grumpy. I also have 2 leopard geckos and a beardie. I think I might some day get another chameleon but that wont be until I am more financially stable.
Its crazy how much these little guys mean to us. I know in my heart I did what is best for him but it still hurts. I know you guys will understand. I just need to vent as I lost my best friend today. May he rest in peace.
Here is a baby picture of him when I first took him home on December 2nd,2013
And a picture of him all fired up before he started developing lumps. Taken september 6th, 2015.
