panther chameleon (sick)

[kayla bear]

I brought him to the vets. He stopped eating but drinking alot. So he's on bytrail,SUBQs and I'm force feeding him but he seems to be worse. I did fecal test and smear to see if his mouth has anything wrong with it and so far all negative I'm wondering if I should do the blood draw?

Welcome to the forums. First I recommend an experienced chameleon vet, which can be hard to find. Second please post some recent photos of your chameleon and his enclosure. Also please fill out the form linked below.

Hi kayla bear,also please ask your experience vet,what is the cause for the sickness,so you can prevent it happen again

 

[kayla bear]

Well she's my boss lol she thinks he's fighting something his eyes were sunken in so I do SUBQs at home and force feed him and he gets bytrail injection twice a week

Have you notice any improvement yet?if your answer is yes,you know you got a awesome boss there

 

[kayla bear]

Well she tried a food stimulate on him she said it could be the weather so I got him reptile formula due to his weight loss Friday he was eating it like crazy then I did it again today and he puked it all back up when he was done

 

[alphakenc]

Geee,thats not good,my guess for you is that he a)too weak to digest those reptile formula. b)its not his favorite milk shake taste awful.c)give him a break ,since he ate like crazy,he might still full,these are just my guessing,but your awasome boss might choose d) none of above.

what are your humidty readings this set up just by looking has zero humidty

 

[kayla bear]

But it's not it's to help him gain wight and giving him vitamins I had to have my boss sign me a former for it he loved it Friday but today he was not feeling it

 

[kayla bear]

Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow maybe he just ate to much

 

[kayla bear]

My other ones I've had for 4 years are fine and they all eat the same thing

 

[Kingkush]

and whats the humidty levels you have been keeping them at this 4 years

 

[alphakenc]

My other ones I've had for 4 years are fine and they all eat the same thing

Lets hope he will get better in time,I will send my prayer in your way for him.....

 

[kayla bear]

Thank you idk I think I started freaking out because he puked but he did eat alot and the vet said the last thing if he doesn't get better we have to do a blood draw only because she thinks his kidney are flushing something out

 

[alphakenc]

You are welcome,please dont freak out,take a step back if all else fail then you can do the blood draw.

 

[kayla bear]

Ok he was just really backed up he's good now
