hi everyone my veild chameleon is very sick and dehydrated I noticed it a couple of days ago.

I took him to the vet and they gave me some medication and a Carnivore diet I mix with water for him.

the vet told me to soak him in lukewarm water everyday for 10 mins to rehydrate him. I also have been giving him his medication every morning and his carnivore diet food twice a day.

his eyes are still really sunken in and he throws up all the vet food after about 1 hour of eating it. I been force feeding him it with a syringe.

his poop is runny and brown and his urate seems to be white.

he is to weak to hold is own body weight and want to sleep more often. he is bearly moving to

the vet told me his humidity need to be around 80 to 90 percent.

since he's to weak to hold is own body weight and needs a higher humidity I moved him to a smaller glass cage.

he has a 100 w heat blub and uvb on top.

I usually give him multiple vitamins and vitamin d with his crickets but I don't know what to do since he won't eat

PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS URGENT

What’s the temperature in the basking area?

Are you dusting at most feedings with the calcium/D3 powder?

He shouldn’t be dehydrated if his rates are white.
Soaking won’t rehydrate him unless he’s drinking the water he’s sitting in.

Can you post some photos off the whole cage please….lights and all.

 

[Steven montano]

the basking temperature is at 80 and I usually give him just calcium everyday and d3 once a week

 

[kinyonga]

The calcium powder you show says it has D3 in it.

 

[kinyonga]

I added more questions to my first post.

 

[Steven montano]

it has without d3

What medication did they give you?
How much carnivore care have you been giving him? Are you careful that he doesn’t aspirate it? The opening to his lungs is at the very front of the mouth.

I threw away the other one with d3 since the vet told me not to do it

he is usually in the bigger cage

 

[kinyonga]

So until you saw the vet you were using the one with the D3 in it?
every feeding?

I was us it once a week with multiple vitamins

 

[kinyonga]

So you moved him to the smaller cage now that he’s sick?
What’s the substrate?

 

[Steven montano]

yes cause he couldn't hold him self.
the substrate is economical earth coconut fiber and bark

 

[kinyonga]

So before you found out he was sick and right up until you found out he was sick what supplements were you using and how often for each one? I need to understand what was happening until he was sick to help him/you…then what you’re doing now too.

BTW I’m not a vet I just give you my opinions from what I’ve learned in my 30+ years of experience.
