Okay, thats good. I got a little nervous. He must have been pretty clogged up or something, it was a lot and there were two parts and a fairly large urate. Not the best thing to describe I know, but its good to know he's okay. :)

Woah... he hasn't pooped in a week, and then suddenly today he does, and its HUGE!! :eek: Is that normal??

Hey! Mine used to do that too! But he also slowly stopped. Im not sure if it really means anything, though. Mine stopped at about 3 months old, and then later on I started noticing some mild MBD. I don't want to scare you though, its more than likely nothing. Some chams just like to do it, some...

Oh, so they don't even need to be really gutloaded? And do you recommend getting silks and start using that as a staple feeder as opposed to crickets? He is strong enough for that yes. His back legs are only weakened, causing him to fall and stumble a little. The falling has seemed to decrease...

Hmm, silk/hornworms sound like a good idea. I've never dealt with them before though and he's never tried them. Do those require gutloading/dusting or any special care? Wheres a good place to order? I've taken him outside for a while before the vet. I haven't yet since then though because I've...

Hello all, you may remember my threads a while back about Specs, my approx 4 month old male ambilobe, being in bad shape and in need of a vet. Well, good news. I finally was able to get him to a vet and they gave me this sort of liquid oral calcium medicine that he takes twice a day. The reason...

For information on Specs's condition and health form: https://www.chameleonforums.com/specs-seems-going-downhill-please-help-80665/ Ive been getting some donations here and there and my brother would be able to take me. Its ridiculous, though. The ONLY place in my entire area that actually...

Around $50 for JUST a visit? Dang... :( What about having bloodwork done? Could anyone give me the price they've been charged for that so I could get an estimate? I have a feeling I would need to get that done.

Man. I really dont know how expensive a reptile vet could be. :/ I'd expect it to be in the hundreds, though, considering its exotic... I guess im going to have to call around and get some information. :/

Man... this is killing me. :( Its such a tough decision... although, at the same time, it really isn't because I know whats best for him... Just hold that thought, please. I still have a few more acquaintances I can check up on before I officially decide to give him up completely. I have a...

Is it really that bad?? :confused: Ive checked, and no one seems to be available to bring me.. I really dont know many people to begin with. Besides that, I dont think I could even afford a vet bill worth hundreds of dollars right now.. :(

If anyone hasn't seen my previous thread on Specs with the health form: https://www.chameleonforums.com/specs-seems-going-downhill-please-help-80665/ Well, Ive been observing Specs more closely over the past few days. Ive noticed that it really is mostly his back legs that he doesn't use as...

I doubt the anoles prevented him from basking. If anything it was because the light was too close to the top and the UVB was placed in a weird spot. They were WC, but checked thoroughly for any parasites, diseases, and I made sure they were cleaned. But, besides all of that, I noticed all of...

Alright, thanks, Ill keep all of that in mind. There was just something I noticed though. I realized the branches in his cage might be too big. They are wider than his hands can fit around. Do you think that may be a cause of him falling?

Alright, I think I'll try putting him outside then, for a while. Hes asleep now though so Ill set something up for him tomorrow and Ill leave him out for at least a day and a night. Should he be in direct sunlight, or just anywhere outside even in shade? He'll still get UVB either way?

Hes showering right now as I type. He seems to be enjoying it. :) EDIT: He has his eyes closed and hes resting on a branch in the shower.. is that good or does that mean hes just relaxing?

I wish I could take him to a vet, but with no car right now, it really isnt an option. :( I just have to hope its nothing as serious as that and that it wont get worse. He definitely doesnt seem to be as bad as that sounds. His legs seem fine other than him being clumsy and occasionally letting...

Yeah, I was thinking of doing just that. Leave him alone for maybe a week, no handling, and just do the normal misting and feeding and work around him. Hopefully, if its because of the changes, he'll feel more himself. Now that I think about it though, I did make a lot of changes to his cage...

A shower? Hmm, I havent even heard of that. I mean, I have on the forums, but I assumed that a shower just meant misting the cham directly. So... I just put him in an actual shower but not aim it directly at him? Im afraid that hes going to fall off of a branch though if I try to put him on one...

Sorry, this is going to be a little long because I wanted to get as much detail in as possible since im currently unable to get to a vet for the time being. Please help my little guy, hes my first cham. :( Current Problem - For the past month and a half or so, Ive noticed that Specs has been...
