Hello there chameleon friends,
I could really use some advice about my veiled chameleon, he is a male and he is about a year and a half old. This morning I woke up and noticed that he has a puffy spot on his front left arm, right above the place that his arm meets his front hand. It is a brownish yellowish color and kind of looks like sap from a tree. I touched it and it was a little sticky and a little gooey. I took a warm rag to see if I could wipe it off but it is attached to his skin. It is about 3 cm long and 2 cm wide. I'm thinking it's some kind of infection?
I just took him to the vet about a month ago because he had a sperm plug that he needed to have removed. The vet gave him antibiotics because he bled a little when they removed the plug but other than that she said he looked very healthy. Should I start giving him the antibiotics they gave me again? I would like to avoid going to the vet because I'm a broke college kid and they are very expensive, but if I need to go back to help my baby feel better then I will go back. You have to do what you have to do.
I am at work right now but I will post pictures of his arm once I get home.
Any advice you may have would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
