Iv got a soft spot for them. Sadly my last died shortly after being purchased and the current one is in pretty bad shape. He got fluids injected into his stomach cavity today after a failed stick. I wouldn't let them try again. He also tested positive for parasites and got panacur and his mouth...
Cami that was one of the breeds. They have the three horns right? There is a Facebook page for them too on the e vine. I'm sorry you lost them though. I know that must of been hard.
So I went and saw a young oustie yesterday that was free to a good home. Oh man you guys. It's like hogs jr. But this guy is rough shape. He is missing 3 fingernails on his front feet. Pretty skinny, but does eat, and almost looked as if he had infection on the edge of his mouth, I saw some...
There was a e-vine on keeping rare chams, it was really awesome, there are even Facebook pages for these groups so they can share ideas and mate the species so that the breed doesn't die out. It was really amazing to read about all of these people coming together to help these breeds flourish...
Foshizzle- the vet said they have no idea why she swallowed the tongue, but that the fast action of removing it saved it. She got anti inflammatory drop, 1x drop a day for 1 week. She isn't shooting the tongue currently. I think her mouth might be hurt from me holding it open, I'm requesting an...
Lathis lol no more tears!!! I am so much better today. This hobby can be scary but I feel more confident today than ever in being able to care for Frita. I mean I removed her tongue all by myself! I'm proud I had the guts to try. I ordered a book on Chams and their anatomy and I really want to...
Hey zsa, she is a lot better. How is your baby doing? Praying your tongue issues resolve too. I gave her the anti inflammatory drops only two days, she gets one drop only. This morning she ate a super off the wall very close to her face. I'd say she got it out pretty good.
On another note, this...
She is a sweet girl. Today I went in to see her and she was covered in blue dots. So I felt the tummy and didn't feel anything. But I suspect she might be in the early stages. With all the drama the poor thing has been through I can't comment on her behavior being normal or not. But she has...
I don't think so. When I palpate her stomach I feel nothing. Just squishy. But she sees the specialist in a week, so I'll know more then. Ill get a X-ray if he suspects it. Ill need to get her some liquid calcium too since she is of egg laying age. I'll check again today. The vet yesterday said...
Hey guys. Well today was rough, I couldn't take Frita myself due to shoots, so hubby had to go it alone with my list of demands and questions. I requested an anti inflammatory and they gave us these drops. She didn't reswallow the tongue and had a chipped tooth from me pulling the tongue out...
I have her an appt with the vet at 11:30, they couldn't fit me in this morning :( she is sleeping right now, she was up till 11 so I'm letting her sleep till 10. I will hunt down Dr.wilson, I am so sick over this,I was up all night cleaning trying to stay busy. I am praying for her every second...
Lathis I'm about to lose it :( I swear to god! What the crap is going on. Hoggle dies now Frita is having tongue issues. I'm so upset and I swear waiting till the vet opens will take forever and I'll be nuts by then. I love Frita so much, Hoggle I never had a good chance to get to know him, but...
I'm taking her in first thing in the morning since the emergency vet basically said " hey yeh we are not specialist, call uga!" I call uga and they are closed! I'm so angry. They even advertise exotics. Ugh
What does this mean? Will she lose the tongue guys?
