Worried my boy is going to die soon :(

Any news on your chameleon?

He’s hanging in there. Got 2 new meds today for parasites/worms. And then tonight he finally had a wet poo so I’m going to take that in to be tested.

What is the vet doing about the awful look of the outside of your chameleons vent area now? Did the prolapse get put back in or go in again on its own?

Hello all,
Thank you for your support with this. I'm sad to report that I had to euthanize Victor today. I took him to a reptile specialist, and long story short, it seems Victor had cancer. He had a lot of necrotic tissue around his vent, and moving down toward the bottom of his tail, and outward, possibly even a bone infection. His digestive system, vent area and tail were all not working anymore and he was really suffering. Hug your chams tight today. Best, Stephanie

Did he mention if it was squamous cell or a different type? I am curious what types they can get; my frogs can get squamous.

I’m so sorry about Victor. You both seem to have fought long and hard and your sweet beautiful guy is at peace now. (((Hugs))) to you

So sorry for your loss...under the circumstances, it was the best choice IMHO....even though I'm sure it wasn't easy. Hugs.
