Thanks again everyone, the support was and is appreciated. Already looking for a new Cham to bring some life to the enclosure :D Much was learned and experienced, all of which will be applied!

unfortunately, the Ensure induced dehydration most likely caused a blood clot last night and Esky died in his sleep. much was learned about this species of cham over this past week. thank you for all the advice and support everyone

Update: Vet prescribed Ox Bow Carnivore Care (0.5-1 CCs every 8-12 hours till able to feed normally) along with Vanilla Ensure mixed in for added protein. I didn't add the Ensure at first because it sounded wrong to me. This morning I added 0.2 CCs Ensure. Esky spackled the bottom of his cage...

I'll do some more research tomorrow and see what I can find. Thanks for the support, very much appreciated

Accidents happens, i'll do what I can to give him what he needs to get better. Just modified his setup to only be an inch off the ground. i have an angled branch to encourage him to sleep on an angle which should help his pelvis to not heal lopsided. I'll definitely take your advise and not...

Good news is it’s not gout or an infection. Bad news is that the left side of his pelvis has a fracture. Vet prescribed no climbing, mild pain med, and syringe hydrating/ feeding.

Agreed, still weak. Long shot of a theory but we'll see what the vet comes back with!

Infection of some sort was my guess as well. Although, he is missing a toe nail but not on that foot ironically. The nail loss was most likely prepurchase. i didn't see any blood on the missing nail. After giving it some thought, assuming the vendor took care of Esky well (he had multiple other...

Thank you, your time and help is appreciated!

Update: i went home to checkup on him and he seems pretty weak and out of it. I scheduled a vet appt for tonight. Thank you to everyone who responded!

That's a very helpful diagram, thank you. I had the wrong understanding of gut loading and dusting. Gut loading consisted of a cricket feed that has nutrients. By wormy boys I meant super worms and horn worms for the depressed eyes.

I read that as well thought a lesser dusted amount would be 3 times calcium a week and 1-2 times multi. I assumed he had not been fed properly for minimum 2 days since I bought him from a reptile convention. I'll give him some nondusted cricks and wormy boys for the rest of the week.

Normally, I'd only dust 3 times a week calcium 0% D3 and 1-2 times a week multi but I've only had him since saturday.

There's slight discoloration but it's hard to tell if it's just his morning color tone or damage. I'm still getting used to his tendencies. Are there any other visible signs of injury I can look for?
