Sick veiled cham *URGENT*

[Thehippie]

get him to another vet with cham expreience

 

[Thehippie]

by saying that she pulled it off means to me that she doesnt have experience with chameleons that could have been attached to the eye itself and could have poked his eye damaging his retina or cornea in the process

 

[Thehippie]

he is most likely holding his eye in because it hurts, he is not blind but chams have an ability to hold in their eyes.

Can you maybe post a picture of him and his enclosure?

working on it.

[Hheaster1]

working on it.

His enclosure has a bottom section but the vet suggested that i put a box under it since he wont climb to get him closer to his lamps.

 

[Hheaster1]

i would have wished but we cannot tell without a pic of him

 

[Hheaster1]

this is the "scabbed" eye before it was cleaned

 

[Hheaster1]

if your chameleon has a discharge coming out of his eye he most likely has some sort of infection. He should be seen by a vet and he will give you drops or the proper antibiotic. especially if it is black

I did take it to the vet and she said it was not an infection.

 

[Hheaster1]

order off of ebay, slik worms BSF BSFL BBF and roaches are all nutritional

If there's a large amount of live food, he eats very slow and they tend to die. How do I keep them alive?

 

[Thehippie]

looks like mbd to me, early on but mbd

 

[Thehippie]

start a colony you should be gutloading them anyways.

you see that curved elbow in the picture??? that is mbd any curved limb will be a sign of mbd if he starts grabbing at his face thats also a tell tale sign

How do I begin to fix it?

 

[Thehippie]

liquid calcium, he just needs it until he gets back on his feet and starts to do well

 

[Thehippie]

by gut loading your feeders you feed them eventually giving them a longer life. repashy and cricket crack are good gutloads unless you wanna make your own

He's never grabbed his face but he often grabs his other limbs and doesn't realize what's happening and can't move

 

[Thehippie]

yea mbd most likely its the curve in the limb that i worry about

 

[Hheaster1]

liquid calcium, he just needs it until he gets back on his feet and starts to do well

Would either one of these off amazon work?

 

[Thehippie]
