Veiled Constipated, what else can I do? worried

X-RAYS! update

So for an update, he had passed some urate twice but no fecal matter.
He went to the reptile specialist today and we got a calcium blood reading and x-rays.
He is not impacted! He didn't eat anything he wasn't supposed to but he went into a hibernation like state which caused him to become extremely constipated.
I believe the hornworms have been helping him pass urate at least.
Baths haven't been helping but him sitting on a heating pad (for people) actually helped him pass!

The Dr. said his calcium isn't too bad but on the low side. Normal for them is between 125 and 145 and his was 116. So liquid calcium for 2-3 weeks
and his x-rays showed where all the poop was building up. Otherwise he is in great health and should pass everything soon. Aka Dr said I've got one constipated chameleon that needs to take a big crap LOL
More heat added to his cage per vet. 100w clear blue bulb added to his basking.

 
Ouch, poor guy! That is a lot of poop lol. But I'm glad to hear that the heating pad got some of it to pass! Best of luck getting the rest out :D

Thanks! I've been doing literally everything I can and I'm glad I learned from this experience. I feel so bad for him! So I'm going to nix the bath time and do the heating pad. Took about an hour for him to pass the urate. I feel like a mother with a baby at feeding time with him on the pad LOL
 
I agree that is far too much vitamins but everything else sounds good. I just dealt with this problem with one of my 7 month old females. Hadn't seen any feces for at least a week. I did three consecutive days of ten minute warm showers, slight increase in basking temps, and two very small soft bodied feeders (Phoenix worms in this case) dipped in mineral oil 48 hrs apart with no other feeding. She passed a huge impaction, and even though she wasn't ever lethargic while dealing with it, I can tell she's feeling much better.
My Cham hasn’t pop in few days she 5 months old I thought she had eggs but I think she can’t pop cuz she hasn’t went to her laying bin and it’s been in her cage for days she not moving like normal and she really fat she still eats but it’s been couple days since I feed her since I thought she was ready lay eggs I’m just scared for her ??! What should I do ?’

This is an older thread I would start another one for yourself so you can get specific feedback.
