the discoloration is just on the base of his tale and it seems to be not spreading now, the last poo i saw was white and very runny like bird poo. he moves around and seems to be strong there is no was he would let me put him in a container he is still moving around drinking uper well but that does not seem to be helping, he is basking and then he goes down in the plants so he seems to be regulating himself. Those eyes keep going deeper i dont understand it.

I'm worried that discoloration might be a sign of infection. If so, he might be getting very dehydrated in spite of drinking a lot.

Are there no 24 hour emerg clinics down your way that could see him tonight? It will be horribly expensive, but at least he could possibly be stabilized and treatments started.
Good luck, he's in my thoughts.

Ohhhhh... I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. I was really hoping he would hang in there until tomorrow. There is nothing I can say that will help you in this sad time, I'm not good at things like that, except I know it feels when you lose one so cherished.
My deepest condolences.

oh gosh, I am really sorry for your loss. It is upsetting to sit around and watch something you love suffer, wanting to make it better for them, but not knowing how. I don't think the vet would of been of much help anyways, being in the condition you described. Animals are so good at hiding their pain until it is too late. And reptiles are expecially devious.
That is the hardest thing about owning these animals I think, we really don't know what is going on with them. But please don't feel bad, i bet you gave him a great last few weeks.

I can't say how sorry I am. I wish I could have helped. If I knew you and lived close I'd have been right there beside you trying to keep him alive and to a vet. Sorry for your loss. Your love for him will be remembered in your next chameleon. You might just be twice as fond of the next. Keep your spirits up, sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
