That's good to hear...Sorry for the delay April. That's good to hear! It seems like other people have reported really great results, so I think I just have to try it on more chameleons and see if I can tell the difference. With one chameleon it might be a lot to ask to make a revelation about a product! And good tips about masking the taste, it definitely did not seem like she enjoyed it at all! And this is a chameleon who had had her mouth washed with astringents and medicines for months, and I'd never seen her flail her head away from something as with the dose of Reptaid. Even the Carnivore Care wasn't quite enough to mask it completely.

It was a blessing that it ...Aw dude, sorry to hear. It was a blessing that it was in her sleep though. I am sure you have some great experiences documented.<br /><br />My chammies got a HORRIBLE case of ...I don't even KNOW what after a bad batch of crickets came in. Not only did it give them an ugly gooey mouth case that began to make their gums swollen and upper respiratory problems, but also seemed to spread to a stomach issue for myself and my neighbor that accepted the package of crickets for me during the day!! Although my neighbor and I seemed to fare better after a few weeks, the chammies took a blow for almost a month. I really thought it was over for them. I did some research and read how you were giving Reptaid a try and figured "if a Biologist says it's worth a shot..."<br /><br />I went HARDCORE on giving them the recommended doseages daily of reptaid mixed with, get this, Goya fruit nectars combined with orange flavored Pedialyte. A whole huge ass syringe of it (Well, 1-2mL.). Aside from the fact that it nearly completely masked the awful taste of that Reptaid, it also gave the chameleons something to look forward to! They...liked their daily medicine! And I am pretty sure these chameleons hate my guts, so to see them happy to see me was refreshing (They were handled poorly by the breeder.).<br /><br />It gave them such a boost. It was like night and day...after a few days or so. Maybe this can help in the future? But then I don't know if they had exactly the same kind of infection as your Guinevere. I do suggest you taste some of this Reptaid if you haven't already. Tastes like ass. I'd be stressed to the gills if someone was holding me and shoving that down my throat every day. Even if I do eat bugs that crawl in poop.<br /><br />Be well.April Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814294071076219883noreply@blogger.com
