I have a Jackson chameleon, he's probably around 1.5 years old. I have been treating him for random mouth sores. He's been on a couple rounds of antibiotics. He gets better, then the swollen spots appear again. I've been feeding via syringe (reptile-aid) and hand feeding wax worms.
This morning he got worse, fortunately I had a vet follow up appointment today. The vet says, I should see a reptile specialist. I thought she was experienced in that area. She wants him to go off the antibiotics before seeing the specialist. She also mentioned putting him to sleep. : (
I'm heartbroken and not sure what to think. He held onto my hand most of the day, as he's quite a friendly fellow. Still has tail strength still climbs, definitely moving more slowly.
I'm feeling hopeless. Any thoughts?
