Thanks! It is scary! I feel like she hates me right now haha poor babe. I found a video on youtube about giving chams meds when they seem to have lockjaw. super helpful! stubborn stubborn little girl. Just trying to breath easy and get us through the week. Stitches come off on Monday.

Shes not allowed to have superworms or this would be so much easier. I went and got wax worms last night and they all died, as they do every time I get them... :cautious: Im going to look around for a hornworm for her today because she will absolutely love that. They were out last night.

Just watched a GREAT video on youtube about medicating a cham with "lockjaw"... it worked!! Got the medication in her! now to figure out how to get her to eat this mineral oil on a cricket. seems to kill the cricket instantly and she refuses to eat anything that does move. When I try to trick...

Thank you. They gave us a dewormer and something for pain and inflammation, along with lube and mineral oil to help her with going to the bathroom. She was very stubborn this morning and I had a VERY hard time getting anything in her. Shes been a dark color all day.

Thank you! We're super hopeful for a speedy recovery. If only she wasn't so stubborn and would take her medicine!

My heart is breaking and we are only assuming the worse. Unfortunately unable to shell out big bucks Which I know this will end...

Thank you! I am in such a panic.. called out of work tonight and everything. running to the store to get KY immediately!! I am having a hard time finding the vet. I found one but the specialist isn't in until 9:30 and its emergency hours. (ouch my pocket!) I live in Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

Thank you. I looked at this a bit ago, it doesn't really specify the ratio and salt sounds a bit scary

My 7ish-month-old veiled cham has a what I think is a small rectal prolapse. Advice?
