My Chameleon is so sick

[Betta Lover]

My Chameleon was dehydrating when i bought him, i decided to save him & everything went fine, but now he doesn't eat from 3 days, only drinking water, just today i discovered also that he can't pee , looks like he have Constipation!!! sorry i don't know what you call this disease, I'm not very good with English, coz its not my first language, any way i feel so bad for him i can see that he is in pain he is trying to push the shit out but he can't only just white drops. i don't know what can i do

use warm water to mist him and get the humidity up, better yet get him into a warm shower, dont let the water hit him directly, let him sit on your hand and stand in the shower for 20min or more.
you dont want him to get impacted so get the water going, it will help.

 

[laurie]

A tiny drop of mineral oil will often help him poop. That and lots of warn water misting.

 

[ataraxia]

He has not had any food intake in three days - This can be normal.

He cant pee but he has white drops? The white drops are probably his urates.

How do you see the pain or know he is constipated?

as stated above mineral oil, baby food pears, warm showers, KEEP HIM HYDRATED if he is constipated!

Please post some pics of him trying to poo and also please fill this form out.

I don't Know How old is he he is wild caught, & the pet store owner know nothing about Chameleons.

today I saw that his anus is red as he pooping and few blood drops came out nothing else, he only drink water, still not eating.
I think its too late, i thought i can help him to survive when i bought him, he is so weak now barley can move, and he start to sleep in morning.
I hope he will be ok

First day when i bought him

if he is wild caught, he most likely has some type of parasite especially if he has bloody poop. You need to get that guy to a vet ASAP or you are right, you are going to lose him!!! He does not look good!

 

[Hoj]

yep, sounds like a vet visit is needed

 

[Symbiot]

He looks very sick and malnourished. As previously said please get him to a vet asap. Sadly, he may not have many days left in this condition.

 

[jade4321]

you need to urgently get him to a vet! he looks very thin. he's dying.

 

[ataraxia]

if can get your hands on some panacur and flagyl..id get that going ASAP. make sure he is getting fluids.

yesterday was the saddest day in this year, i lost my cham lucky 10 pm, i never felt like this before, never, like everything turned to black from the moment i woke up & saw my cham face, to this moment I'm writing these words, i still can't believe that he is not here can't forget the last moment in his life, his last breath, i loved this little guy so much, i wished if there anything i could do, wished if its in my hand, wished to woke up & see him walking around like he used, so many tears flow for you Lucky, from yesterday till now, the only thing that making me feeling better, that your Soul in God hand now, he will be Merciful on you than anyone, no more suffering no more pain, Rest In Peace.
I'll always love you & missing you.

I'm sad to hear about your loss. It looks like you did a lot for him and you did a good thing taking him away from a bad pet store. I presume he had some sort of parasite since he was a wild caught.

 

[DavidBuchan]

It's always very sad when a Chameleon dies, but he was very young too. You did everything you could for him, but when they start to be very sick it is very difficult to save a Chameleon........he is with God now forever, better for him

 

[okiroo]

D': oh my gosh. this made me so sad. im so sorry for your loss.

 

[CammieBaby]

You did something....

 

[James45]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Atleast you tried and he will be waiting for you in the end healthy as can be

 

[suzi]

RIP, my thoughts are with you both

 

[Betta Lover]

Thanx for everyone, your comments making me feel better, I'm glad to find people like you to share my feelings with, i believe that every member in this forums are kind & sensitive, still have a heart and feelings for others even if its an animal, & I'm petting anyone who have no feelings for animals & every other creature, i would say for him I'm sorry for you cry on your self coz your heart is dead try to seek another heart.

Thanx again my regards for all of you, and i wish from God health & strength for your Chameleons & for every sick Chameleon to recover, hope no one will experiences this with Cham
