Also I’ve been feeding him silkworms this past week so I’ve only dusted with the multivitamin for one of his feedings. Do you suggest I dust with regular calcium every feeding then even if he’s being fed silks?
I decided against the xray because they didn’t know what they were doing there so I just did the bloodwork and got out of there. I want to see a regular vet not an emergency vet that knows about chams and I can go to regularly cause I haven’t been able to find a good one that has worked with...
I will try the supercal NoD thank you that is very helpful. I did not know the other calcium has bee pollen. He does drink from the dripper but he hasn’t moved in a couple days I will try the new misting schedule. And yes ur right I forgot to select the 48 inches thank you
Hi again! so I’ve got a hospital enclosure in the works right now because I think it would be a good idea for Jasper. He still climbs across the top but he can’t move up much without falling and he tries to often so it seems like he still wants to climb but maybe something more accessible for...
I will try to get his night time temps down to 67. I ah e a dripper running for him everyday while lights are on. I see him drink from it. His UVB I will have to measure the distance when I get home I’m at work right now but there is a small section of the uvb that has some leaves in front of it...
He is a male Nosy Faly Panther chameleon. He is about 3 1/2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about 6months old
I do not handle him often because he doesn’t like to be handled. Very rarely has he wanted to come out. I have handled him a hand full of times when he has let me but I try to...
Sorry I haven’t filled out the help form yet. I’ve been so busy trying to get his medicine and taking caring of him all while working full time and honestly everything has just been getting thrown at me all at once in life right now. I do intend to fill it out but honestly at this point I don’t...
I have done one years ago but I would like to do one again because the vet told me I need to just tweak a few things but I don’t trust them and what they suggested I do seemed outdated. So I think it would be smart to just double check here. I just did the bloodwork like you said and the bill...
Ya I’m never going back. It was an emergency vet hospital so they’re not my normal vet. They claimed to be an exotic vet but clearly know nothing about chameleon's
Ok I will just do the blood work and be done here. I will post what they say when it’s done but am leaving after this and maybe get a second opinion somewhere else that I can trust deals with exotics. I just felt like this was an emergency situation and felt comfortable going to this emergency...
That was my exact thought. And they are saying my bill with all the tests is going to be over $1400 and I feel uncomfortable paying that much if they don’t know what they’re doing. They have an exotic vet looking at him but I can only talk to the emergency vet who doesn’t know anything about...
They also said my Arcadia 6% UVB T5 HO I’ve been using has to be changed every 6 months not every year. They said to do multivitamin with D3 every 2 weeks (I’ve already been doing that) and calcium every 24-48 hours? So they want me to feed an adult panther everyday?
They are saying they think he may have gout and MBD but are going to do blood work and X-rays to make sure and see if anything else is going on. I’m also very confused because they said he is a girl? He looks nothing like a girl to me but they said something about there being no penial...
Ok thank you I am going to the emergeancy vet right now. He is usually pretty feisty but I picked him up today to let him into his vet bin and he just let me do it. So unlike him. I will see what the vet says and keep everything you said in mind
So jasper has gotten a lot worse. He was acting pretty normal up until Friday night. He was hanging out at the bottom of a ladder towards the bottom of his enclosure for a few days until Friday night he fell and stayed on the floor the entire night. He also started shutting his eyes or sometimes...
Here’s another picture idk if this helps anymore than the other pictures. Yes it doesn’t really look different when he moves. I had a husbandry review like a year ago everything is still the same he’s almost 3 years old now
