Another Stpid thing...

I had been holding off on this one until I knew how things would work out (which they did). I will get the what-could-have-been-terrible-news out of the way first. Spoilerized in case you want to skip it.

Spoiler:
Two weeks ago, both of our Chameleons had issues which caused us to take them to the vet; the male had some spots on his back that we were concerned about and the female slit her own throat (we're pretty sure it was her typical clumsiness and not an attempted suicide). The spots on the male turned out to be normal and non-lethal (and pretty innocuous), but the vet found an abscess in his mouth which normally wouldn't be caught until it was too late - thankfully we caught it early and could do something about it. For the female, she got a couple of stitches.


Last Friday morning, when I was feeding everyone, I found the female (Karma) on the bottom of her cage and she was black (not a good sign). I honestly thought we had lost her as she didn't move at all for a couple of minutes after I picked her up and even then, it was barely perceptible. I will state right now that she will be fine (otherwise I wouldn't be posting this); however, Friday morning, I honestly did not think she would make it.

So why is this in the "What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?" thread? Because Susan sent me a text letting me know she was on the way to the vet.



And I asked her if Karma was still alive.

Did I think Susan be taking a dead animal to the vet?
