Lately my veiled has been eating some of the veggies that I put in his feeding dish for the crickets. Mainly collard greens. I saw him eat some today. My question is this because he just feels like it or because instinctually he is lacking in some nutrients? Thanks
I've actually already called and made an appointment. They don't accept walk-ups but I guess appointments, and especially "exotics" appointments do not require a referral.
UPDATE
Well he is still drinking and he is still eating. I have watched him do both now. He is not eating as much as he was before, but he is at least. He is still wobbly, although not quite as extreme as a few days ago. I have scheduled an appointment for Thursday morning with the vet below...
Those pictures can be a little deceptive sometimes. No, no swelling around the front ankles. The back ones are a little larger where the foot joins but not really much bigger than what I've seen before.
Yes, I see him drink.

Thank you for the frank post, and I agree. Bottom line is that I don't want him to die before I get a chance to take him to the vet. Just looking for any help or ideas in the meantime. Any and all help is very much appreciated.
I've got a 1/2 gallon hand pump mister that works pretty well. I also have a cup with a small hole in it that I let drip water. Drips for an hour or so.
He's actually pretty plump. He mainly eats crickets but does get waxworms occasionally. I've also fed him moths in the past but not in a month or so. I mist him in the morning, afternoon, and evening. There are no fake plants in my enclosure and it stays fairly humid.
