With eyes closing, it seems a common problem amongst chams. As soon as I noticed my cham doing this i upped the misting in the tank and wihtin 2 days took them to the vet, as the sooner the better. Once a cham starts going downhill the decline is quick. 1- there may be something in the...

hi, i know this wasnt one of your initial concerns, but re the bark. I just lost a chameleon, this week, due to what i think was impaction. You cant keep an eye on them 24/7, so you dont really know if they have swallowed a splinter or a whole lump and if there is nothing for them to choke...

After three long weeks of struggle, Carlos passed away. We had his feaces checked and there were no parasite. The cause was/is completely unknown. Thanks for all your help everyone, your support was so valuable during this time x

hi all, sorry fot eh absence, had some issues wiht the internet! Well, carlos is hanging on, in fact we are thingking of renaming him hercules. I am still drip feeding him with whizzed up crickets, waxworms ccf and calcium mixed in water. He seems to go from being a little better...

i just did something similar over the sink, wiht a hand held mister and warm water. I did it for 5 minutes, is that long enough?

Carlos is dehydrated I have tried: drip feeding mineral water a drip sytem warm misting 4 - 5 x a day any more suggestions?

thanks, i have taken the poo to the vets for analysis e

Carlos, my male veiled, has many updates on this sight as he has been ill See: (puffy eyes, no pooing, tinned pears?' and 'carlos, life and death' ) He did a green poop today, anyone ever seen that before - does it mean he is getting worse. I havent fed him naything green. thanks

To catch up with the carlos saga - please see 'puffy eyes, no pooing..tinned pears' and 'Carlos: life and death decision' So, in the end we couldnt do it and we brought him home. I had a small spare glass tank - that i dont think is ideal long term but for home hospitalisation, it does the...

she might be gravid and not using her box, you have to take her to the vets.

I went to see the vet today and although they are experienced exotic vets, I am a bit concerned about the tank they have him in, its very basic, 4 sides glass, wiht sliding front doors, 30 30 x 40cm ish with a curly branch in the middle, no leaves, and a lasagne box for him to hide in (which as...

I went to see the vet today and they have changed their minds and want to keep him in as he has started to go brown. I am a bit concerned about the tank they have him in, its very basic, with a curly branch in the middle, no leaves, and a lasagne box for him to hide in (which as far as i'm aware...

hi all, the vet rang yesterday and asked if we wanted to ask carlos home. I said to keep him in till monday as he was getting injections for hydration and nursing care. Today she called me and said he opened one of his eyes a little bit for a while, woo hoo! Not out of the woods yet...

the vet said, they dont know whats wrong wiht him as he is too small to take blood from, they asked if i want to take him home and care for him. I dont know what to do for the best

just spoke to the vet. Carlos is still being injected to rehydrate him, and feeding him carnivore critical care formula but he's just not opening his eyes, so they cant diagnose properly. He has started gripping onto the branch now, rather then just collapsing on it, but i worried this is a...

hi i recently have had this same problem and his surroundings have been ok. Closed eyes are a common ailment with chams and it has to be treated immidiately. Without sight they cant hunt and therefore eat and will go downhill extremely quickly. The bulge in her eye, is a water sack...

genius idea.I shall do that, great!

update the vets kept him in and rang this morning to say he looks a little better. I bought a ficus and a pothos ivy for humidity. We are changing the basking bulb to 50w today from 100 and setting up a dripper system wiht an icecube suspended from the ceiling of the tank, so hopefully...

hi all, just got back form the vets, they were very worried about him and have hospitalised him, and are going to put him on a drip. I will know if he made it through the night when they call me tomorrow. If he does then they are going to do further investigation. :(
