Green Substance coming out of chameleon

[MissSkittles]

I’m going to say whatever it may be, put a dab of water based lubricant on it and get him to a vet.

I don’t know any chameleon vets in my area, I’m in South Carolina

I honestly am not sure. I have tagged another keeper I know that is experienced. She should be here in a bit.

I checked your profile and see you live in Myrtle Beach. There’s a good chameleon vet in Mt. Pleasent. That’s probably going to be your closest one. They are good with surgery and everything there. Give them a call and see if they have emergency hours. Here’s a list of SC reptile vets and the one in Mt. Pleasent’s contact info is on the list.

Honestly it could be a fake plant cause I did put new ones in there yesterday sooo he had more closure so he was able to hide a bit better

 

[Alycia]

Typically prolapses aren't green with that being said if there was an impaction and infection going on it could be gangrenous. If it was a fake plant you do not want to pull on it and risk ripping tissues. There are some things that can be done to help prolapses go back in but I don't want to recommend doing that with the possibility of infection. At this point with as long as it has been out and the color your best option is going to the vet. Google arav it should take you to a site that has reptile vets listed. I have the link for Facebook but not for the actual website.

It looks very much like a hornworm. But that is no reason not to see a vet. Even if it turns out to be a hornworm, it’s not supposed to be half out of its butt. So vet for sure.

 

[Beman]

Water based lube is needed to keep it moist. if it is a prolapse you do not want it drying out. So KY jelly without any additives, just the original formula. And I would get into a vet personally.

That’s what I was thinking cause the one I fed him was that exact same color and he never had any problems using the bathroom at all until I fed him that hornworm as a treat

You really need to get your chameleon to the vet before the Holiday.

Dr. Keith Benson (north of Columbia) he’s really good with chameleons.
Cornerstone animal hospital in irmo sc 29063

Dr. Matthew Wheelock in Charlotte, NC He’s been seeing chameleons for many years.

It also looks fairly dehydrated and skinny... Increase hydration

I mist 4-6 times a day but I’ll start his dripper back up since he always love for me to take the tube and let him drink from it

 

[Xanitry]

Also sadly all of them are booked

 

[Xanitry]

I misted his cage with warm water to see if it is a horn worm if it’ll help him pass it through better cause rn I’m on my own here

Tell them it’s an emergency and that your chameleon has a prolapse

I did but they’re triple booked throughout this entire week for multiple surgeries
