So I decided to take her to the vet. When I tried to feed her she will turn and twist so the point for not taking her to the vet was mute. I call but the friday that week but they were already close. I call the number of the vet they had for emergencies but they don´t take reptiles. On monday I take her to an emergency apoitment. The say the x ray machine is broken and the repair guy will be there in two hours. They told me she is impached and need to have a flsuh to take out the shit. I asked about complications and what do I do if she gets prolaps out of it, they told me to rub some some cream thing to keep her moist, twice a day. The do that they flsuh it and some things come out that when crushed it broke like clay, dried clay breaks. I remembered she getting soild with some roach I feeded her, also that she had been eating dead bugs that were left over in her feeding stashing some times. She tells me she is dehydrated. And all the chameleons in this country are dehydrated due the country doesnt have the tropical climate they do in their enviroment. I tell her I mist with their mist maching several times a night. She say it doesnt matter how much you mist or fog you never gonna get the humidity they got in the wild. They x ray her and she seems to not have broken anything, or anything being out of place. they can not see soft tissue but the bones are alright. I ask her if the not using her back leg/legs can be due the impaction. I think she said maybe. I take her home and try to administrated the ointment as best I could following the instructions. She keeps not doing weel in her enclosure, so I take her to the enclosure of my male that passed some years ago. It is more barren and the food station there is more easily accecible and can see the insect easier than on her enclosure. I keep putting the ointment, she gets stressed, falls a couple of times, she isnt eating well. I prepare the carnivour food diet
https://emeraid.com/vet/emeraid-carnivore/ to give her. It has helped a couple of times before. I put the syringe as far back in their mounth as possible to try to get it in her stomach and not her lungs. she pushes it outours I gave her the food at that possition more outwards and the put her back in her enclosure.
She starts doing worse and passes away.
I fucked up. I probably killed her by putting food in her lungs. Or the stress and pain of picking her up and putting the ointment on her. Or the impachmen for not picking the dead bugs out the feeding station. Or not taking her to the vet straight away due the costs and telling myself it could worse the possible injury.
I grew to love my jacksons. To love all of them. You know when you have reptiles they die its a bummer and you get an other one. same with fish. I dont with this ones. The were diagnosed with irido visurs. Wich meant I could not get new animals because they new ones would get the virus aswell. That keep me from hoarding and having a bunch as with my animals when I was a teenager. Every I would want to get a new animal I would look at my foalöke and see how can I improve their cage? new lighting, is the calcium running out, I can get more of that, can I order something fancy for them to eat? insect in other countris in europe that are not sold here. Everything went to them. I can not longer go to reptile conventions because it would be dickish to spread the irido viros to the people who go there and their animals. Can´t go outside to the outdoors because the virus would spread to the nature wild life of insects, reptiles amphibians and fish, and spiders and shit. I could fuck up entired eccosystems around here. And so would the people I would pass the virus if I attent reptile conventions when their animals got it from me by them.
The thing is that I am in a really bad place, in which time after time it becomes more obvious its only gonna get worse. The only reason I still hang around is beacue of my two chameleons. Jacksons are quite tricy, no begginer would be able to manage to take proper care of them, no random person, only one that is specialized in chameleons. And a person that is specialized in chameleons would likely have other animals and could not take my chameleons because the virus would pass to them. And neither the specialized or the avarage dude could give up going to conventions or outdoor not to spread the virus. So Only I can take care of them, and that is what keeps me around. and now my female is gone. After 3 years of which 2.5 were with me. And now I have to do and make sure my male lives.
My jackson had grown on my as a dog grown on you. It´s just plain wrong to get a new one to replace this one.
Good by my dragon, Sorry my fuckeds ups killed you.
