Good deal, I hope she gets to 100% real soon. Did the vet tell you what parasites were present?

All he said is she had some flagellated protozoa that are likely affecting her digestion. This will be causing the gas and soft stool. It will also keep her from absorbing calcium and vitamins. He put her on Ronidazole for them.

My Chameleon does not look good today. She won't eat still and she is on a vine and just stays there with eyes closed. She didn't budge after misting her which she always runs when she is getting wet. I hope it turns out ok. Was wondering how do you prevent these parasites. Do they get them from there feeders??

 

[jpowell86]

Yes, feeders are the most prominent place they get them from, especially if they are captive bred. She more then likely is feeling lousy from the medication. The medicines used to get rid of parasites can be fairly harsh. Can you post a pic of her?

I will tomorrow. Hopefully she will be ok. I am very nervous.

My baby died last night. No idea what went wrong. I thought I was doing a fine job with her. I am so sad right now.
