Hi, so my chameleon is around 1 and a half years old and he’s had problems before with falling and hurting his arm but that’s all solved now but now i’ve come across something I can’t figure out. It’s kinda hard to explain but it seems that something is stuck in his butt and I can’t get it out, it’s a bump with dried up stuff around it and looks inflamed. I’ve talked to a vet tech and they told me to bring him in but I don’t have $130 to bring him in not including extra stuff they’d charge me for. He has a very large screen tank with many places to climb on and he eats normal I switch up meal worms and crickets and on special occasions horn worms and their all sprayed with calcium (I have a calcium spray) and he has been having normal bowel movements. I’ve noticed he’s been scratching his butt on things, I’m just confused because I gave him mineral oil to see if it was constipation and it didn’t do anything, I’ve soaked him in warm sugar water and regular water and even tried pulling most of it out (vet instructed) I am just at a loss for what to do now because it has not gotten better and I don’t want to hurt him or do something wrong. Please ask any questions you have Im positive it’s not a calcium or food or enclosure issue he’s a very normal chameleon I just love him so much and will try anything to help him. I’m just praying it’s not a prolapse but he’s had this for about a week or more so i’m unsure.
