here is the link to the video........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygC1r-W0aoE

ok, here are some more recent pics of jack, this is how he looks all the time, just laying on the branches, occasionally a limb will hang down and dangle. you can see that they are swollen, but to me, he "looks" like he should be healthy.........its so frustrating, because it doesnt seem as...

Diablo..........like the fast car lamborghini......:)

hhhmmm........okee dokie, i'll post some pics today.

oh, and just to clarify.......jack was on a medication for the first week, but he continued to go downhill.........this is when his other back leg and front legs became weak as well, he was not moving around, and was VERY weak, but he was still eating. i took him to the vet again, and this is...

hhmmmm, sounds similar, except that jack's legs seem to work "ok", its his feet that have almost no grip. he continues to "carry" his back legs around, swinging them forward, and ive seen him use his legs as leverege when climbing up a steeper branch, just that his grip is useless. today we saw...

also, on page 1 i believe, there are pics of his legs........they are still swollen like this and he doesnt use his feet to grip anything, its very weak..

hello eric, on page 6 of this thread, there is a link to a youtube video " jack moving around"...........this was what jack looked like when he was trying to move around his branches.....continuous falling. he is in a smaller cage now, with almost no drop to the bottom, until his grip becomes...

we feed them romaine and carrots most of the time........ occasionally they get apple slices as well. that is for the crickets, when we have worms, he usually eats them too fast for them to have a chance to eat anything. all are dusted with calcium every other feeding, with a multivitamin + D3...

Jack spreading the love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnbmPf_UB7k

in sticking with the "golden theme"..........what about Charlie........he won the golden ticket......

hello, just a question, can this parasite, eimeria coccida, be passed on to me from my cham? how would it be passed to me? how would i know if i had it? anybody ever had this happen, or hear of it?

ok, so worse case scenero, after about 4 weeks, we think jack is better, and the parasite can come back? then what?.......... im almost afraid to hear the answer.......... jack wasnt eating prior to this medicine either, he had been put on baytril, because the vet thought there was another...

also, have you ever heard of this spreading to humans? what happens if it does?

thank you for sharing eric :) the vet is telling me that the parasite attacks the intestintes ( which you have stated) and thus doesnt allow protien to be absorbed by the intestine. it is then distributed in the body, causing very weak muscles and feet. i also read this article on it, and it...

jack fell and hurt his leg, but we dont know if the fall was caused by the swelling from the parasite, or vice versa.......either way, whether it be from the fall or not, his strength was compromised, and the parasite is what the vet believes is doing it. is that what happened to the group you lost?

alrite, so soaking stuff is an option i suppose, but our cage is made of wood, and most of his poops fall to the bottom and sit on the wood, so i am just going to get a new cage built/bough all together.......as for the vines n stuff, i suppose i can soak thos, considering they are $15/vine and...

also, how do i keep it from spreading to my other cham?

so pretty much, its safer just to get rid of the stuff he has now, and get new stuff, to be sure all the parasites are gone? i am going to re-screen his cage tonight, he has always had fake plants, as i have successfully killed all attempts at having real ones. i will get rid of the fake trees...

ok, so this is what jack has been diagnosed with, Eimeria Coccidia, parasite. so he's on treatment with Albon? i believe its called.... i'd have to check for sure, and is recieving injections of fluid to go along with it. my question is, how do i make this parasite go away.........what do i have...
