Sick chameleon urine picture

[Weebo]

Here's a picture of my girls urine. I know she is dehydrated I am forcing her to drink with oral syringe. She has MBD and fighting LRI on Baytril. Anything else noticeable about her urine?

Please post a photo of your chameleon. What's being done for the MBD?

Here is a picture of her right now. For the MBD I am giving her Calcium Gluconate. Just started 2 days ago. At first they were giving me something called Oral Calcium Plus and it was making her throw up

I'm wondering if she's eggbound?

She's showing receptive colors so I would lean more toward before the gravid stage, but she also looks rather... Bloated in my opinion so I could easily agree with you kinyonga and say she's egg bound too... Did you have x-rays done? How much calcium are they having you give her a day? Do you know how much she weighs? Baytril has a huge issue with not only causing appetite to decrease and possibly stop but also can cause dehydration because of a lack of drinking etc. You may want to give regular showers too? If you haven't already

Ok so I have an x-ray from back on November 4th showing her start to produce eggs but nothing recently. She weighed 87 grams then, I haven't weighed her since. They have me giving her .1 mL of calcium 2x a day. She's been on Baytril 10 days now and still has mucus accumulated in her mouth. I give her showers almost every day for 10-15 minutes. Force her to drink with syringe and when I can I'm force feeding her a couple meal worms because she won't eat anything. Spits it all out

I'm sorry for your girl's rough time. I hate to ask the obvious question, but did she ever lay the eggs she had in November's x-ray? If not i would certainly say that she is egg bound.

I would say she is egg bound too. And you could be making her LRI worse depending on how you are giving the oral liquids? You should give no more than .5 CC of just plain water at once and you should put 1cc oral syringe all the way until the tip is in the back of her mouth/beginning of her throat. If you aren't it is likely she has aspirated some.

Well weebo is in her lay bin with her butt in the hole I dug for her. I have a towel wrapped around her cage for privacy. My question is if she lays eggs during the night won't she need water right away after?? Idk what to do does anybody have advice on dealing with a chameleon possibly laying eggs during he night

 

[Nursemaia]

Just leave her. She'll probably sleep there tonight and lay tomorrow

 

[Andee]

Usually females will lay in the morning and wait for day time. They often dig so much when they are ready that they sleep in the hole.

Ok good to know. Should I set up her dripper on top of the cage in the morning and still have the mister set on timer as usual?
