I feel like a neglectful POS.
I've had my chameleon at the vet a few times because of an RI that I think came about due to stress when I was moving house.
Then the basking lamp fell on top of the cage when I was at work and when I fixed the lamp he looked okay but the tissue started turning black. The vets assured me it was a burn and the tissue would eventually Slough off. It's been a while but now it's happening and I am freaking out.
I'm trying to treat with silver sulphadine and tamodine but because of where the open wound is he keeps reopening it and I'm terrified he's suffering.
I can't get a vet appointment until next week and I feel so ashamed I've let this happen.
Pictures are of when it started to open, then the ones with the cream are from today, it just keeps getting worse and I feel so useless.
