he has been sick lately. Started with the typical symptoms....one or both eyes shut at times, sleeping during the day, then eventually not eating reguarly. I took him into the vet, where he was given a round of antibiotic there, fluids and blood was taken. his phosphorus level was a bit...
showers are always good for chams....mine anyway, perks him up, both the water and the steam that builds in the bathroom....and a great opportunity for him to get hydrated.

Yea, you think there is no good reason to feed him a pinky. I wasnt ever going to, like I said I dont think Waldo has it in him..ha. But I was going to try strictly because of the recommendation made by my vet; she said they are a good source of Vitamin A. Do you know of any other ways tro...

Justin, Sorry to hear about your female, I...
:confused:I have a male panther who is a little over a year old. He has not been well lately. I have had him at the vet, and he is currently on antibiotics. He is much better than when I took him to the vet; no longer lethargic, both eyes open and awake all day, however today he did something...
