My Peach Didn't Make it

[theresaintucson]

I took her to the vet on Friday and x rays confirmed that she was egg bound. She was given a shot and I took her home. Saturday I brought her in for another shot, took her home and let her rest in her darkened cage, with the laying bin on the cage bottom. Saturday night I carefully peeked in on her and was encouraged to see her in the bin. But I guess all the stress of being egg bound really took a toll on her because she was in very bad shape this morning.
My reptile vet told me that surgery was an option but was very stressing on an all ready stressed out cham. Her surviving it was not very encouraging. I made the very very difficult decision to have her put to sleep this morning.
I am beating myself up despite my vet telling me she wouldn't have done anything different.
Peach was my very first chameleon. She was as sweet as her name and a wonderful pet. I have a very heavy heart.

Don't beat yourself up. It sounds like you did everything you could do and sometimes things just happen that are out of our control. Sorry you lost your beautiful girl. I am sure she lived a great life with you and for that you should be proud.

There is just no way to make it better. Losing the first one is so hard, and for me is dos not seem to get any easier. I do what you much do, know you gave her your all, and celebrate the time you had together. RIP peaches.
