Anybody know what the barb is on their rumps? When I clipped it off a bunch of clear liquid came out. My cham's been eating them for about a couple weeks without any issues.

My opinion, take him to a good herp specialist and have a fecal specimen examined for any parasites. It can identify or eliminate a problem early. Order some phoenix worms online and get him as much natural sunlight when you can. No campact/spiral fluorescent UVB/UVA bulbs, only long tube. T...

You are correct, we were pulling on her chin to administer antibiotics, but we stopped doing that about two weeks ago for obvious reasons. We noticed the bruising, stopped pulling on her chin, started using a rubber spatula and our vet specialist gave us a safe antibiotic cream to rub into her...

Update! We visited another local vet until I can make another apt. at our specialist in Seattle. Needless to say I don't have as much confidence in his opinion, but he did give us a triple antibiotic ointment for our cham's eyes. It seems very similar to bacitracin and appears to be working...

Should I be keeping her bottled spring/distilled water in the fridge? I'm going to cut out the supplements and start using a calender to regulate them. I set up a drip system that drips into a large water dish at the base of her cage. I will be sure to dump out the dish daily and it has been...

Well actually both of her eyes look exactly the same. They are slightly sunk into her head and very dark around the outside edge. I started the eye drops again and I have been giving her warm baths. She has been eating nothing but silkworms for the past week. Should I discontinue dusting her...

As she moves her eye around I can see it move inside the eyelid, as opposed to when we first got her, her whole eye moved around with the lid as they normally do. It seems, as she moves the eye around, the skin just isn't as supple so when she targets food and focuses her pupils are partially...

If you were to look at her straight on you can see that her eyes are slightly sunk into her head. This may be a simple humidity problem as I do not think we are able to keep it humid enough for her even with constant misting. I plan on purchasing a Mist King but for now I'm headed to buy a...

What type of water should she be drinking? I've gone back and forth between distilled and bottled spring water.

care/cage info Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled: female approx 4"-6" head to tail, unsure of age and we've had her about 2 months. Handling - before eye problem, once a day for exposure to natural sunlight, now we try not to handle her at all Feeding - lots of silkworms for the last...

What's an edema?

All her info can be found here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/baby-female-veiled-keeps-her-eyes-closed-89578/ Now she has gotten past the parasite issue, verified by my vet. Because of her size we never were absolutley sure about the sinus infection, but we were giving her an orally...

Nah, no need to wound the worms. They don't creep away so fast. She's eating the worms regularly now. 5-6 per day!

We're doing a little cup feeding but most of the time I just wound the crickets and lay them on their back close to her. As they wiggle she doesn't hesitate to gobble 'em up. The lone silk worm that I placed in her cage yesterday is missing in action, so I hope she ate it. The silk worms are...

After a couple weeks of several antibiotics she is doing better. Has a little trouble aiming properly when shooting her tongue, so we're hoping her vision improves. We no longer have to force feed and she is putting on weight, climbing around, pursuing food and drinking water. We're sending in a...

There is an awesome herp vet in north Seattle on Aurora. They are treating our 4 month old cham right now. If it gives you peace of mind, for about $45 they'll give you a fecal sample container. Just follow their instructions and bring them a fresh one so they can test it. They told us that it's...

Fecal came back positive for a parasite. We are now administering 2 antibiotics and hand feeding bug juice and some crickets. She's not rejecting the food and she is still going to the bathroom. Hopefully she still has a chance. :(

This is just a thought, but if you just got him then I would go to a vet. You don't have to bring your cham but just ask the vet for a fecal specimen container. Something the vet gave us to take home and collect a sample to bring back to them for a test. My opinion it's an inexpensive and stress...

Vet visit results Vets analysis: possible sinus infection. Otherwise she stated her overall health looks good. She gave us antibiotic eye drops and will call us to check up on Tues this week. If no positive results then she'll give us oral antibiotics. The vet visit was very stressful however...

cont... We are on our way to the vet today. We have continued the misting and she is tolerating it, not running away. Wife told me she opened her eyes briefly today. It's approx. 10am and yesterday as far as I know she went the entire day without opening her eyes until after the showers in the...
