Some of you may follow me in Instagram, or you may know about my chameleons and bearded dragon from my posts on SG. They mean everything to me. Recently, my babies have become sick with a very rare fungal infection known as CANV. I have spent nearly $900 treating them, and three have passed away: my best friend Bames, Rose, and Poke. At this point I almost cannot afford my rent because these babies are my world. If my SG set was bought, the money from that would go towards what I have spent on them. But right now, my priority lies in keeping Lilac alive. She is still fighting the infection, so I will help her until her last breathe. I did not want to have to ask for help over my social media, but I am desperate. I have lost three family members in two weeks. I've been spending almost all my time since my debut set came out caring for my little ones. Even if you only have a couple dollars to donate, I would be SO appreciative. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
Please help me save my babies (GoFundMe with a goal of $1000)
I have made this GoFundMe which explains the whole story, but these are photos of what CANV fungus has done to my babies:
This is Bames before I took him to animal emerg. He was initially healing from a thermal burn from his light, so he quickly succumbed to systemic CANV infection. His heart stopped beating as he arrived in ER:
This is what baby Lilac looks like right now. She is tired and covered in bruises from internal hemorrhaging caused by the fungus. The yellow patches on her are CANV fungus:
A magnified photo of what CANV does to reptiles. This is a photo of baby Rose's chin. The fungus eats away the keratin in their skin causing lesions, which is why it is referred to as "flesh-eating". This fungus is extremely rare in chameleons, so it is difficult to diagnose and requires immediate, aggressive treatment:
