Hey guys thank you for your help. I ended up going to a guy in cranberry at animal general. He seemed knowledgeable and had treated a decent amount of herps before. Hopefully the treatment works. I'll update if it does or doesn't.

Hi guys wondering if anyone had taken a reptile to a vet in pa. Preferably towards the Pittsburgh area. I have found a few vets around here but they all had terrible reviews. Imy guy is sick with an RI. Thank you so much for anyone who responds or has experience.

pm me and I'll give ypu y number and you can give me a call and I can send pictures over the phone if that's alright. I figure I can answer you far better over the phone than typing on it. Thank you much to everyone. I really appricate all the help for my guy.

If deer harvester could do this would you want to meet? I really like the idea of him going to someone who has experience with force feeding. I don't want someone who isn't used to it to give up or accidentally break his jaw. Thank you so much deer harvester for that offer.

He was never shipped before so I'm not sure he would make the journey in his condition. What's a ball park of how much shipping would be?

He's close to a year and is a nosy be x ambanja. He is very beautiful. I have his pics under my profile. Where are you located I might be able to meet you half way? I don't have a cage I could give with him because he is in a 7 or 8 feet tall cage and I had to take my door frame off to get it in...

Hi there guys. I used to post here then my chameleon lost his tongue a few months ago. He needs hand fed every day. I end up prying his mouth open and giving him super worms. He is dying. Every day you can see more and more of his bones exposed. I'm looking to give him to someone kind of close...

He has a little tongue left and he got an antibiotic shot. Getting him to eat or drink has been a struggle. Since the accident he's only eaten 2 wax worms. He's been getting a little bit of water I think though. I'm supposed to give him a shot today. It's supposed to go in the thick base of the...

I did explain the situation to the receptionist yesterday. They thought it was horrible but when they close they close and I live an hr and a half away from them they can't stay open for me and none of the emergency vets were reptile specialist. The one I have an apt with is the only one my ride...

Okay I have an appointment for 1130 on Saturday. My main concern now is getting some water because I'm sure he is dehydrated, any advice on how to get him to drink? He won't open when I drop it in front of him. I did see him open his mouth and there is a little piece of tongue in there I think.

Thank you so much everybody for your responses, this has been a traumatic and horrible event for the both of us. The good news is that he doesn't seem lethargic or aggressive in any way. All his motor functions seem to be working well. I feel like he could use some water though so I plan on...

Also my guy has always been a bit vocal. Like when he got mad he'd sigh or huff like I could hear it. And when he opened his mouth an was thrashing his head about he made a noise also. I just hope to god he is getting a little peace by resting .

I have no doubt he isn't in pain but I feel like he is in a lot less than when it was hanging to the ground and when he was stepping on it. I'm going to try and make an appt to get him seen tmr by the vet.

I know he's going to need antibiotics to combat any infection. He was never not hand fed and I have no doubt he'll be able to take the bugs without a tongue. He priorly would open his mouth for me to spray it in for him so I think he'll get along rather normally. My poor guy I can't believe this...

Their 24hr vet wasn't an exotic one at least that's what they told me. He amputated it himself... Its not bleeding or anything and idk If any is left or what. He seems happier without it. After it came off he went to bed so he seems more comfortable anyways.

I called there but they couldn't take him today I called 6 different places . it happened when he went to get the cricket from my hand. He missed and his tounge completely over took my finger . he refuses to go lower than that on the branch. He flips out and tries to climb the glass. I am really...

Here is a picture of it. He can get it in a little more than that.

I called around abd no very can see him today so I have him in a 10 gallon tank with a damp hand towel on the bottom and a stick in there. his tongue is still hanging in there. He tries to get it in so I see its attached still which is good. I'm hoping he will regain the strength to pull it back...

Okay thank you! What kind of material should I use?

I live in perryopolis pa. I'm trying to find vets but I could use some help. Like ihe is just letting it hang there and idk how to help I keep moistening it with water.
