Well my luck continues 
This breaks my heart. In 7 days my little buddy went from 100% to his eventual demise An internal liver infection did its due on DJ. After my vets opinion, infection that spread from an earlier minor prolapse.
1 month ago DJ had a minor prolapse and was put on oral antibiotics and lubrifying gel for his anal cavity. 2 weeks and it was as if he never had a prolapse... Another 2 weeks had gone by with no signs of maldue until...
Day 1 - Noticed he wasn't eating nor defacating
Day 2 - Clear-white-orangy discharge from anal cavity (weird)
Day 3 - Start of Shed (Oh ok weird but ok)
Day 4 - End of the day creamy discharge once again(WTF)
Day 5 - Caught him (napping) in the middle of the day (with minor discharge)
Day 6 - Woke up in middle of day and he was still sleeping (lights on) Major Orangy Discharge (HELLO VET ASAP EMERGENCY)
Day 7 - Final vet observation - Internal infection spread from original infection to the liver. Causing him to slowly degenerate from the inside. He was suffering.
So without second thought, my vet and I agreed that it was in our and DJ's best interest that we part ways. He was laid to rest within that day.
My heart goes out to DJ and all chameleon owners out there. My heart is truely broken this month... Loss of my 5 month old Karma (blue bar ambilobe), followed by my golden retriver (spleen cancer) and now this...
For someone who takes car of his animals better than myself, sometimes nature takes its own cruel course. As hard as it is to remain positive I must... My life is just not the same without my little friends!
