I agree it is good information to have. I've always been a big honey advocate as well as an essential oil advocate. I knew the healing and antimicrobial properties of honey as well as its aid in digestion. I had a feeling it would work just not this fast. I mean almost immediately it really is a...

Since Chico stopped eating, things werent looking good for him until today. He has only ate 3 crickets the past week and a half due to the albon. Last night I decided to give him some local raw honey. Not even 24 hours later he has already eaten 3 crickets and 1 superworm. With honey on them of...

Yes you are right. My vet recommended 1 ml of spring water twice a day by syringe while on medications like these. We are holding off on the ponazuril for a while to let him recover from the albon and get his appetite back. Does anybody have any tips on force feeding? We are using a soft plastic...

Just an update if anyone cares. He is still recovering still hasn't got his appetite back fully because of the albon but he hasn't given up eating completely. He is moving and climbing around much more now. From almost no movement at all too all the time. No more meds for now we decided to treat...

No the front left is swollen the rest of his feet are fairly normal. He just started eating again. Starting him on the ponazuril friday.

I talked to the vet we are switching him to ponazuril. He has lost his appetite but I'm hoping it's not going to last long. I am keeping him hydrated to flush out the albon.

OK good catch guys. I've only given him 2 doses. I will cease and desist on the albon and try to get the good stuff. Should I worry about the two .1 ml doses he has already gotten?

Ya I suppose I can ask but it's only like a 10 day treatment I think? So I'm just going to stay on top of his hydration. He will be ok. Good info to have though. Thanks

Ya that sounds right. Here's the script right here

Force feed if you must to. In my experience they will eat it willingly after the first couple of chomps. But if not you can use a syringe until the underlying cause is found and cured.

Sooo turns out the vet had some extra calcitonin and is letting us get it for $25 a shot which is great because the pharmacy was talking about $2000 for just 2 mls. Which is Insane. So the past week he started climbing again. And maintained this peaceful bright green color since we began his...

I found this website very helpful. I will be making a new bin from a storage tote like they have in their picture. And just in case, do the same thing for the little one but I'm really convinced it is a male. Not to imply you don't know what you are talking about, but I have another cham to...

And I understand what you are saying about the differences between male and female and I'm not trying to argue with you. But the little guy does not have any blue or yellow coming in at all. And a much larger casque with a more slender build than our female. I believe the vet we just took him to...

This is starting to get really stressful

i'm working on a new bin this one seems too small. Maybe like a small trash can cut to size. Any particular brands of soil I should look for? And I will put some in the little guys cage as well just in case, but I'm pretty sure it's a boy. But I'm not 100%.I guess we'll know for sure if he...

I believe our older one is ready. She just started getting the Robin egg blue spots a couple weeks ago.

No blood work or xrays. And he does stay on the floor because he can't climb without falling. We have another female and the difference in their bodies and veil size/width is completely different. I agree it is hard to tell though

Here's a pic I took this morning

Here is a thread when we were trying to sex him. This was when he was younger though. I will take some new pics tomorrow. I haven't really payed attention to them since he has gotten sick but I'm pretty sure he has spurs. We have another veiled and it's a female. She is in good health. Here is a...

So the vet says he has seen worse. We are hoping for a speedy recovery. He will probably have a few deformities in his arms. But as long as he's happy and healthy that will be fine. We got some calcionate and was supposed to go back in a week for a shot of calcitonin but the vet called when we...
