I think pluto is choking. How can I help

He is streching his mouth open as big as he can and his body looks completly flat. PLEASE HELP

No time for pics

I cant see anything in his throat. HE is breathing though

Is it possible he is about to shed and is just stretching the skin under is neck? I know they will do this for that reason.

He could also just have like a cricket leg or something stuck somewhere. Try misting him to see if he can get it down.

 

[codiwatkins]

I tried to blow in his mouth and its not working

Is it a prolonged flatting of body, with Mouth wide open (not closing mouth)?

Chameleons can hold there breath for sometime. I'm not a Vet., but would guess there is something going on internally and the trauma is too much to handle so cham is shuting down.

 

[codiwatkins]

he is dead guys. I dont know what happen.... Has anyone had this happen?? Was he choking?

He was just fine this morning. I misted him and he ate his food. I walked into the chameleon room and he was at the highest branch all puffed up with his mouth open. I even took a picture because I thought he looked cool......

Then he started doing that weird flat body thing and I picked him up he was just being weird so i posted. I tried to spray water in his mouth, I tried to see if anything was in his throat, I even blew into his mouth...nothing helped.....what the heck just happened. he was just fine.........

wouldnt there have been signs?? I watch him very closely.

 

[ronnie]

Oh my God,i'm so sorry,how terrifying,how can something like that happen so quick

I'm so sorry, Codi; he was such a beautiful cham.

Probably the last thing you want to do right now is go out and spend money when it's too late to be of any help to him, but if you have a competent reptile vet who can do a necropsy, they might be able to tell you what happened.

I'm very sorry.
