I really appreciated all the advice and support you guys gave me, especially @MissSkittles @kinyonga @Beman @JacksJill and @Sonny13. I don't think I will be getting another chameleon in the near future but perhaps one day I will try again. In the time being though, I probably won't be on the...
Jojo has passed away on Monday. I kinda explained everything on the other thread, so I will skip that. When I first got Jojo, he was unbelievably tiny. However, as I took care of him and fed him, he grew considerably and I was fascinated with his progress. I loved him dearly and am sorry that I...
I am saddened to inform you all thatJojo has passed away. After I took him to the vet again for his next shot, the different vet took a really long time and when he came out Jojo had a bandage. After I took him home his arm was bleeding a lot but his mouth was improving. I was worried about his...
I don't think there is any. Jojos mouth itself is getting better, and before the vet visit he was active but after his arm seemed to be bleeding a lot and there was a bandage covering it and some kind of red paste. I am not sure what it is for but now Jojo seems to be weaker. Is there anything I...
I have returned. That looks like a very extreme case of TGI. There was a different vet at the clinic today and he gave the shot in the front right arm. He said to clean Jojos mouth I have to open his mouth and swab it with a Q-tip.
I am going to take Jojo to the vet tomorrow morning again for another shot. I will inform him of this site, ask him to clean Jojos mouth, and also ask him to give the shot in the front leg. Hopefully everything goes well. The Force is with us.
He did not clean it out, but I have been trying to clean his mouth a bit. I will ask him to clean Jojos mouth on monday, as well as show him the site. Jojo has been eating and drinking normally. It is a problem that vets in Hawaii aren't that experienced with chameleons.
Sadly Hawaii has been called "the extinction capital of the world" due to many native species of plants and animals going extinct from invasive plants and animals, and also from humans as well. You can still find some native endemic plants and animals on some of the hiking tails that are at...
So the vet said that he was confident that giving the shot in the back leg would work and that he's had over 20 something years of experience. In my book, experience outranks everything, but I think that he has some general experience with chameleons but not a lot. Perhaps I should show him this...
