Old Cham, is she ok?

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

The earliest appointment I’m finding is Wednesday. Should I do that? Or try to find an emergency vet

 

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

I was able to secure a spot at 4pm today in Littleton, will keep you all posted thank you for all your help my chameleon family

 

[jannb]

This one is an hour, I just called them they are doing a training and aren’t opening back up until the 25th

I’m sorry to hear that. Dr. Mertz has seen a lot of chameleons.

 

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

advice needed. She is now in the lay bin. I have an appointment at 4 but should I cancel? She’s been walking around the enclosure more and was in the lay bin for a little bit no digging. The next appointment isn’t until Wednesday.

I went ahead and cancelled the appointment today and booked the Wednesday morning. Hoping this is the right choice

 

[janjan20]

Just able to catch up on this thread… I would have rescheduled as well, just give her privacy and hopefully she will get to work!

 

[elizaann2]

I agree with @janjan20 I would have rescheduled as well. Fingers crossed she lays some eggys

 

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

No eggs, but she’s been active and moving around the whole enclosure today! She finally had a BM and urination. She’s back to basking. I’m wondering if she was just constipated?? Lol I don’t know! Should I still bring her to the vet tomorrow?

If she’s been digging and is still in digging mode, it might upset her to take her to the vet.

She hasn’t started to dig yet :/ she was just in an walking around the lay bin but no digging yet

 

[kinyonga]

She should be able to go to the vet then.

omg lol she is about to set the world on fire I hope everything is alright though! Wishing for the best of vet updates for her.

So the vet did an X ray and said she is full of eggs. They are going to give her calcium and things to help try to get her to lay those eggs.

 

[Steve A]

I feel like that could have gone worse? I hope the calcium treatment helps her <3

I agree! I asked if that’s why all the other “issues” I’ve seen are stemming from, and they believe so. So hopefully this brings her back to healthy and happy

 

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

They injected my baby with two needles I feel so bad. She was a trooper. She’s now on a heating pad. When I bring her home, should I put her back into the lay bin?

omg lol poor girl. I feel so bad, but hopefully this helps! I don't know how to answer this so I'll let someone more experienced, especially with females handle that. She looks like ET!

 

[jannb]

Yes, put her back in her laying bin. I hope they gave her oxytocin to help her lay those eggs. Usually, oxytocin is given at lease three times.
