Hello all, I haven't posted here in a while since the last time my little man carmine was having issues with his eyes and not eating :mad: however since then he's gotten 100% better :D he eats now but I have to hand feed him or he doesn't want it lol since the vet visit he's been getting better...
I've still been hand / force feeding him.... But now it's not as much force feeding I just Prut the food close to his mouth then hell open his mouth and bite it, I'm taking the substrate out little at a time because I can't get some sticks to stay in place without the substrate.... He suggested...
His eyes are looking 80% better today I no longer see the substance and there open now but he still will go to the darker areas of the cage and hunkere down not sure if he is asleep or he just hangs out there ? Any reason why he would do that my mom wasn't up to paying for the next vet because...
No on the fecal float, i have no samples to bring in :( And the eye wasent "oozing" persay just had some sort of shed/eye crust ? bought some more crickets around the medium size and I'm going to put him in a feeder bin along with an the crickets and I'll put in let's say 5 and leave him in...
I thought I was too..... I showed my mom your replies and sent her the address and phone number to him and I asked her to make an appointment.... Je then texted me while i was at school and told me she made an appointment, Then we went to a different vet and after going she told me she didn't...
Oh and Im pretty sure this was a regular vet that my mom found in temeclula even after me trying to convince her that the benefits of seeing the vet in San Diego that you suggested she would not take me so she just found this one and were going in now...... Im pretty sure it's not even a reptile...
So the vet was completely useless. She told me he has no eye infection , and she wants to give him a deworming shot , a calcium and vitamin a shot but they want like 150 :mad: what would the vitamin a shot do ? And I know I don't need the calcium shot because when I force feed him the roaches...
That's so amazing !! He goes from looking like a banja at the beginning them he looked like a mitsio know he really looks like a faly ! Amesome guy you got there
You should throw in a ficus tree !! ;) my Cham loves it and it provides a sence of security for them, I also would try a variety of feeders. I like to use crickets and dubai roaches for feeding just make sure to gutoad the crickets for nutritional value
I set up an appointment for Thursday, is there anything I can do at home to help him in any way or keep it from gettin worse until I can make it to the vet ? Also what would you recommend I do with him while we're driving there ?
I'll try to get him to the vet ASAP but both I those are 2 hours or more away and I don't think I could go there is there any closer to menife/ Murieta / temecula area of southern California ? So a little bit of better news.... After the elimination of the nighttime bulb my Chams eyes are always...
Ok I'll get rid of that red light tonight, also the substrate is to help with humidity, ill drop thr herptivite and grab some reptivite today. I have read very much about the possible health risks with substrate but I like the look and like I said it keeps the humidity at about 10% higher all...

Also why my other panther was the same age I had the 100W bulb in his enclosure and there were never any problems with him ? Why would it be different from my...
