so today marks 1 week since we went to the vet and yesterday was the 3rd dose.
i turned up heat and also brought him in the bathroom with it fogged up for 10 mins yesterday and the day before.
updates:
-he still isn't really eating, was able to get him another hornworm in on friday or...
Thanks for the response.
So he wasn't having saliva and all that it was just eyes starting to close and heard him cough. I am not around enough during the day to see how the breathing is but ok I will keep an eye on behavior.
does anybody with experience or knowing someone that has ever used Ceftazidime or other antibiotics with success have a time frame on how long it takes for them to start showing signs of improvement? started doses monday and today was 2nd dose (thursday)
yea i moved it that 12 inch distance away but i was just replacing because I thought my 6% couldve just been faulty and they only had 12% at the store yesterday - but ive had it less then 3 months and its the arcadia t5 pro so it should last a lot longer and now that I am ruling out uv I am...
Yes, I put it up away 12 inches and measured but just added the extra inch. branch is about 7 inches down at highest so i raised it the remainder off of the cage. But since it is not the uv causing the issues I am going to put the 6% back on and set back on cage.
so i changed my uv light yesterday also bought a new bulb but it was 12% so i raised it up 13 inches. I am going to put 6% back on during my lunch. going to go with cage cleaning solution from petsmart
yes I have a few inches of the balls as base layer before mesh.
Yes but I have dealt with chams before and I know decline can be quick so I want to do anything possible.
also what do you think about the small fan idea for circulation?
Bioactive - I have had layer of substratum and then mesh over that and reptisoil on top, putting leaf litter when needed. isopods and springtails with a few plants in there. drilled holes throughout the bottom of bin just in case water needed to be let out or drained. only thing I have...
- I removed the bottom plants on Monday as I noticed water building up under them
- He was eating at least 20 daily and growing quickly, now id be lucky to get him 10. I also gave him a couple hornworms over the weekend to keep fat and water in him.
- Have not done fecal test
- Will avoid...
Oh and he stopped eating dubias, not really taking crickets, yesterday had to feed him mealworms twice just to get some food and calcium in him. ordered silkworms from FramsChams so they should be here today or tomorrow.
Thank you!
This picture was april 1st as I am currently at work. He still looks the same maybe lost a few grams, was 81grams on monday morning. colors still look the same.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled male, about 5-6 months, have had him for 2 and a half months
Handling - came out the cage once and started always trying to come out when we would open it so we were having to put him back in almost daily
Feeding - Crickets, dubia, mealworms (sometimes)...
Update-
She was still not eating and dehydrated so i took her back to a different exotic vet. They gave her fluids, b12, deworming meds to give once a month and antibiotics for respiritory infection daily injections for 5 days. Will keep updated
