without giving you any medical history, what would you think is wrong with pokey when he falls straight over? (weak grip and his balance is off)

wow! thank you! his vet did a culture today so we're waiting on the results. she gave Amikacin for now and said we might switch it. His grip is so weak, he keeps falling. do you know if thats normal with pneumonia?

Pokey has extra saliva and is gasping for air (today is the first day of this) I took him to the vet first thing this AM and she called it pneumonia, not uppper respiratory infection (URI). she said his lungs are full of fluid and put him on amikacin injections every third day. she said to...

so yesterday (friday) i saw a new dropping in pokeys cage that had blood in the urate. nice, bright red blood. so i cut off the leaf and took it to the vet for a culture and to set up an appointment for today (the ealiest opening) the vet checked him out and said he seems fine, and to watch for...

okay. than i'll stop freaking out :D

I had the vet check my cham for parasites less than a month ago. Today in his cage i found this. Is it parasite eggs? they pop when pressed firmly. He ate a silkworm Moth yesterday. Is it a possibilities its eggs from that moth? I will be so angry if its a parasite :mad:

nope, im gonna cremate my boy :D

the vet said his calcium/phosphorus levels were fine. i use a mega ray uv light. i actually just replaced it about a month ago, so i dont have any concern over a lack of UV. hes perfectly healthy in all other aspects. no soft jaw or weakness. no loss of energy, he still cruises all over his cage.

My Chamaeleo trioceros fuelleborni has a swollen leg. *First let me give you the back ground: He just got over a battle with pseudomonas. During that battle he had gotten an abcess in the corner of his mouth. after weeks of treatment with amikacin it went away. about 3 weeks ago i...

okay. thats great information chuck. thank you. If this combo worked for you I will bring it up again with his vet

I asked about Baytril the first time 'round. she said it wasn't as effective as amikacin against pseudomonas :confused:

no it never "came to a head," i guess you could call it. I just kept the area very clean and greenish colored scabs would form that i would pull off and clean really well again. all ive gotten from the vet is pre-measured syringes of amikacin she says to give every 3rd day. other than that, i'm...

actually, what we had thought was a temporal gland infection was just an abscess, and with .02cc of amikacin every 3rd day it cleared up in a couple weeks. but not all of the bacteria has been killed off and keeps returning. I watch his urate closely for any off white coloring and soak or...

Pokey is on his 3rd round of Amikacin to fight off this pseudomonas and to me it seems like its not working. Is there anything else i can do to help Pokey with this battle. The vet says the bacterica is sensitive to the Amikacin but it hasnt cleared up yet and there are reoccuring problems...

pokey keeps trying to throw up hes done it a total of 4 times, that i have seen, in the last 2 months. his culture came back clean as well as his fecal. what could be going on? please help.

i would try holding a cricket out somewhere she cant reach it and see if she CAN shoot her tongue. i know my boy can but when im hand feeding sometimes he'll just walk up and bite it outta my hand, so i make it a point to put a few where he cant walk to. my guy is lazy, hopefully thats the only...

absolutely gorgeous! :D

:eek: he needs a vet visit! there is probably an infection that needs antibiotics. i wouldnt waste time trying to fix this at home.

did you have a culture/sensitivity test done? i wounder if he has a bacertia over growth :confused: i'm sorry to hear about killa :(

i have no idea what to look for...except gapping and trying to kill each other hahaha he is slowly advancing and she is not trying to kill him please tell me what this picture says to you.
