pics of my poor guy :( i feel like i let him down because hes in this condition.
i have lost 3 nights of sleep because i keep feeling like i have doomed his life when he really has not even got a fair chance.
i would say like i was told, take the time to get her to a vet. my closest vet is 2 to 3 hrs. away so i opted to look for a regular vet that has had some experiance with herps. i have a veild that has mbd and i took him to the vet yesterday and got him some help. and i feel like it was a good...
i took Zuse in yesterday to a vet that would see him. after the vet said it looked like MBD to him after i already told him that, we started talking up a treatment. We ended up calculating a dose of a liquid calcium and gave it to zuse with a shot. ( Zuse was not too pleased ! ) I then took him...
good news, i have found somewhat of a herp vet. and i am taking zuse in today. i think this is going to be a long road to recovery but i hope he is a fighter. :)

what is a good all around vitamin suppliment i can administer to my chams. i think this may be one of my problems with my sick panther. i give them calcium suppliment that i dust the crickets with, and gut load the crickets and superworms. i give them a wax worm a day as a treat, but i have not...

eye update. i have bought terramycin and have used it now since yesterday. after the first dose he actually opened and kept his eye open pretty much the rest of the day. i showered him again today and gave him another dose and he dosent lioke it but i think it will help him.
well i bought some terramycin today at my local tractor supply. im gonna give that a shot for a couple of weeks along with a shower a day and see if that helps. hope i do his right ! ! :confused:
i did the shower thing this morning, he was no too impressed, but on a good note he started to open his eye more. hit other eye is really in great shape and has great color. i dont think he is sick at all i just think he has that little bit of junk in his right eye. he does open it but and look...
waco texas, im not trying to not help him because i know hes uncomfortable i this is just a horrible time for this to happen. if there is somthing i can do until i can get him to a vet please let me know
yep, i tried that sight nothing close to me, at least the closest is 2 hrs. away and i am not able to take him that far. i am in the process of moving and i cant take off work. then on top of that the majority of vets are closed on the weekends.
