sick girl, took her to the ER

[argulor]

I wanted to quote a few of your posts but this forum layout is a bit foreign to me so forgive me.

I know that the common advice for a "dehydrated" Cham is the shower.. I did this and I am positive it caused an URI in my boy in addition to other issues he was facing.
You mention your Cham had a CT scan? pretty awesome.. my guy was diagnosed by bloodwork solely and my observations.
May I ask about the injections? are you doing them yourself? or are they done in clinic? and what abx do you know?

So glad your girl is turning the corner!

Yeah im super confused by the multi quote feature on here lol !!

yes i gave my girl a warm shower and i feel like it made her condition worse,, my little girl got a ton of injections prescribed by the vet and a nebulizer treatments with medicated liquid . she got a combination of meds, danoflaxicin is the main one. and yes she also had a CT scan done on her, very expensive but it was worth it, shes going in for another one in a few weeks, very very costly but truly worth it to save her !!

Did the vet suggest raising the basking temperature bit until this was over? Chameleons don't get fevers so that kind of imitates a fever and might help. Ask your vet.

yes luckily we found him before things got worse! the first vet we went to didnt know much at all and said she was fine when i knew she wasnt,,,,

Maybe put this vets office and the vet you saw down in our vet list, so then any future keepers in the area can benefit from this as well.
