Hello all, my chameleon has a few health issues one is MDB. He doesn’t eat live insects so I feed him a variety of liquid supplements. Recently for the past week he has been throwing up everything I feed him. This morning he also threw up some white mucus, can anyone help me !?

A few weeks of vomiting with no improvement is pretty scary. Vet ASAP!

Yeah that's a lot of dehydration and lose of electrolytes right there. Get to a different vet asap! In the meantime I would suggest using some unflavored pedialite. If you can try to feed it to him in a syringe like you would get in childrens Tylenol. Don't force it down his throat or anything though. Good luck and you should fill out the help form as well so we can see if there's something wrong with your husbandry and that's why he's having such issues.
