He has something obstructing and irritating his right eye quite badly, and I'm not going to go in and get it, as I'm afraid it's a part of his eye. I purchased a vitamin A supplement since creating this thread, and I've been giving it to him, but I seriously doubt that it'll get rid of whatever...

Makes total sense to me, and now that this has happened I will definitely get him checked more often. I never had a fecal done on any other cham I've had!

He could've had them from the start for all I know, I never got him checked, and from what I've been reading pinworms can be dormant for a long time before any symptoms really show. On top of that, I never repotted any plants I've given him, and soil seems to be a common way for these guys to...

Update: called the vet today as I hadn't heard back yet. Bernard has pinworms and they'll have his medicine (guessing it'll be panacure) ready by my Thursday appointment. This is relieving vs worrying about coccidia! I'm 99% positive his eye problem has nothing to do with his pinworms, but I...

Chameleon eye specialist in Tampa? Would love to know their name. I just brought him out to the tree again. The blob is just as big, maybe has moved a bit. Put some more terramycin in there too.

I agree Jann. :( What I plan on doing is going back to this vet one time (since I gave her the fecal anyway), then going to the vet you sent me in St Pete next. The blob looks slightly smaller today, but I don't know if it's me just being hopeful lol. Have you seen anything like this before??

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely do that. Putting liquids in is no problem but he's started to push any bugs I put in his mouth out with his tongue lol. It's so frustrating. All-in-all though, he's acting a little better, but definitely not anywhere near normal. Can't wait to hear back about...

Eh...he has it closed 80% if the time, and he will twitch in pain then close his eye if he looks in a certain direction. But he definitely has been keeping it open a lot more the last 2 days which is nice. I did buy Repashy vitamin A, but have been unsuccessful with having him eat a dusted bug...

More photo dump of different angles of this thing. It definitely sticks out further than his eyelid. It almost looks like a blister on his actual eyeball. I can’t find anything similar on here. Hopefully I hear from them on Monday. I don’t know how long it takes to analyze a fecal.

Took some more photos of his right eye. I can’t tell if it’s better or worse but I can say he’s making some sort of progress. He’s more alert, crawling around and keeping both eyes open for much longer. I just brought him outside to get a better look at the blob and he LOVED it out side (he’s...

Thanks for clearing it up, I figured the species had to do with it too but I was just clarifying. Making sure I'm doing everything I can correctly right now.

I posted the link in the original hijack of OP's post. Here it is!

Thanks for checking up. His right eye still looks lumpy and irritated. If he rotates his pupil to look at a certain angle (where the lump is) he will twitch his head and immediately close it in pain. :( That being said, he is attempting to open it a little more today. Unsure if this is because...

So based on my post, you wouldn't suggest going to 10.0 for my enclosure?

Did you see my post? I posted a pic of my enclosure. I feel like the foliage is similar to OP's, but maybe I'm missing something.

Sorry to steal the spotlight on your post, but I'm confused, I JUST posted asking if I should switch to a 10.0 bulb as I got my panther the XL Reptibreeze and everyone that replied made it seem like a big NO NO. My thought process was the same as I'm reading here...the 5.0 won't penetrate as far...

Just pooped! Bagged it and immediately brought it to the vet. She’ll be back Monday to check it out.

It's only slightly warm, almost cool for me. With the shower door closed, it gets steamy in there due to our house being around 73-4 degrees. He isn't directly under the shower head, either. He just benefits from the steam and drinks drips as he pleases. Still no poop. I've given him 2-4...

It definitely looked different than before he started closing it, and I kept emphasizing that. I dunno. I was referred to this vet by the user "Julirs" who was a chameleon veteran when I first joined the forums back in 08 or 09. She's right down the road from me, which is fortunate. It seems...

I was really frustrated, too. I was trying to explain to the girl that this is urgent and I really can't wait a week and she was like, "well, sorry about your luck" pretty much. Anyway... Went to the vet today and the Dr. was able to see me within a hour, so I'm really glad I just showed up. I...
