My chameleon ate bark and is bloated. What helps her pass stool?

Question

My chameleon ate a piece of bark with a cricket. She appears to be bloated. Can I use mineral oil and a like warm bath to help her pass this?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Soak her in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. Gently massage her abdomen during the soak to stimulate defecation. If it doesn't help, Baby should be examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. I wouldn't recommend mineral oil until after you try an extended soak and a veterinary visit.
