I don't believe he has eaten anything sharp but he is quite distressed. He keeps rubbing it all over the branches trying to get it off which seems to be the cause of the bleeding. He also keeps contracting his stomach trying to push out what I assume to be more feces/urates. I tried the cold...

Hello everyone, This morning I went about the typical duties of misting and feeding my chameleon. About an hour later I noticed that he was climbing up the branch from his usual pooing spot and I did see his feces and urates. Unfortunately, I also noticed a decent amount of blood on some...

I woke up this morning to give James his usual warm misting and feeding and noticed a lump pushing his skin upwards. It looks like his shoulder blade may have popped out of its socket. Any ideas?

Good news James pooed today! I put him in the sun on his live plant for about 30 minutes and as soon as i put him back in his cage he released massive amounts! Thanks to everyone for the advice and to those people out there with a similar issue i tried mineral oil, baby pears, warm shower and...

Hi Carol, Since you are so talented at thoroughly reading my posts I am quite disappointed that you have managed to missed the one I posted yesterday about how I have already made a vet appointment. The amount of time aloted since his last defecation is simply an estimate on my part. I...

Hi Randy, No the swelling has gone down. It could be due to the fact that he will only eat crickets. I have tried feeding him mealworms, wax worms and multiple types of fruits and veggies. He just cocks his head with slight curiosity at the other food types and then moves on. He still has not...

"Under supplementing, using little to no calcium can cause it. From my best guess. The picture displays an animal with an infection. You will need to take that chameleon to a vet." This does make sense because I have not been giving him the proper amount of calcium. I purchased some pure...

The swelling has gone down as of this morning. He only has the bump under his neck now. I have misted him with warm water for about 15 minutes and still no poo. I have scheduled a vet appointment next week. He has no other signs of a respiratory infection besides the neck movement but we will...

Hello Ridgebax1, Thanks for your feed back. It is entirely possible that he was not fed adequate supplements during his stay at the pet store. I really do not believe that he is suffering from Gular Edema though. From the pictures that I have seen with affected chameleons they seem to have...

I have not tried putting him in the sun yet. The sun is always shining here in Southern California but the temperature outside has been quite windy/chilly (about 55-60 degrees) so I wasn't sure if it would do any good. Should I try even with these cool temps? Also, I will mist him with warm...

Hi Carol, No one advised me to put him in a warm bath and I certainly did not hold him down in the water. I have been doing a lot of research on this website and assumed he was constipated/impacted at first because he has not pooed in about a week and a half. In terms of the...

Please Help! Bloated stomach and neck area on graceful cham! Hello everyone, I currently live in San Diego California. As of a few weeks ago I am a new chameleon owner. I recently purchased this beautiful graceful chameleon at a pet store and he seemed to be in excellent shape. I made sure...
