Urlich the Destroyer passed away

[ohiohousewife]

Well, we tried. He looked like he was getting better this week too. We had had him to the vet several times in the past few months for eye infection, spinal injury (a result of weakening from the infection that could have gone to his spine), and pinworms.
We were force feeding him tobacco worms because his one eye was closed, and he wasnt drinking. I modified his cage so he couldnt fall and hurt himself further (back legs never did work well after the initial injury).
A few days ago, both eyes were open, he was drinking from his leaves, and starting a shed. Yay!
this morning, I found him in the back of his cage with runny fecal and a partially digested worm next to him. Not sure what happened. We'll miss him. He was a good cham. These pics were from earlier this week.

Soooooo sad for you, I know how it hurts when you lose one of your family. Just remember how blessed you were for all the times you had togethre and getting to know one another. Every animal we have been blessed to care for have enriched our lives, and for that I am grateful.

It's so sad you lost him - it's an awful feeling to lose a precious cham. I know you did all you could for him and made his last weeks more comfortable for him.

RIP Urlich. He will go up to chameleon heaven where he will eat every insect possible and hang on every branch possible. There is a time for everything and everybody and it was his time.
