@Katacara ...glad I'm useful!! I don't like to see chameleons suffer or keepers end up with sick chameleons so I do the best I can to help them. I sure don't have all the answers and never will.

[Katacara]

What are you treating the Coccidia with? Also you MUST disenfect the cage to avoid reinfection. It is not an easy parasite to get rid of.

 

[Jevin]

I have been disinfecting the cage, I had a bearded dragon have it as well and it is being treated with ponazuril. I'm pretty thorough when it comes comes to the care of my pets. Literally Chandler's mouth looked almost normal, but I managed to notice that his lip wasn't lining up right in two spots, it was out by less than a half of a millimeter. I have dealt with Coccidia before.

 

[Jevin]

So in the course of Chandler's vet visit, and the subsequent after care, I've discovered that he has a what I have called his "Grumpy corner" in his cage. It corresponds to the top right back corner of his cage. If he is in this corner, then it's best to leave him alone lol. Oddly enough, that corner despite being pretty barren for foliage, is actually covered from view from all angles except for the front of the cage.

What med did they give you for the Coccidia? The reason I ask because if it is Albon, you are better off with the Ponzuril. It does not seem to effect their appetite.

Well said!!!

 

[Jevin]

@carol5208 if you read the one reply of mine, I stated Ponazuril. I think they misspelled it, but the one you said doesn't affect appetite.

 

[Jevin]

Also, I actually like how the thread got hijacked into a @kinyonga appreciation and venting thread lol

 

[kinyonga]

@Jevin ... I was just thinking about the thread getting hijacked...saying I'm sorry to the OP.
@Chameleomom ...you got the likeness of me down to a tee!

 

[Jevin]

@kinyonga it's okay. I actually enjoy it lol gives me a bit of a chuckle.

 

[kinyonga]

It's good to chuckle once in a while!
