Saying goodbye

[Peeps101]

I’ve had my male veiled cham (Silly) for nearly 4 years, and he was the best boy. For the past week he’s been eating less and being less active but drinking normally. Today I took him to the vet and apparently he only started showing signs of liver disease yesterday, and he is on his way out. He’s lost weight and despite drinking so much water his eyes are still sunken. I have the option to treat him but there are no promises anything would help. I’ve decided to bring him back to the vet in a few hours before they close where they’ll put him down...; He certainly is fighting I can really tell, he’s actually holding himself up and attempting to walk around on some branches but it hurts me too much to see him struggling.

FWIW, I think you're doing the right thing. Lizards can be difficult to read; he may be suffering as well.
We always hope they'll live the maximum span; unfortunately that doesn't always happen, and it's no-one's fault.

Remember the good days. Get another when you're ready.

Sorry to hear that but you have made a good decision. It's part of life, good times and bad. Best to you and your new cham if you decide to go that route.

Oh no, that’s terrible! I’m soo sorry for you and your chameleon. But you’ve done your best to give him a good life and find peace in knowing he was loved and cherished til the end.
