She was alert this morning, her eyes were open ..then I gave her the fluids and she went down hill. I did everything correct, she is unresponsive but keeps changing color when I touch her. She turns from a bright green then to a dark green on her face n tail. Her heart is beating real slow..but...
My veiled is 5 months old I am not re-answering the question form because I did that in my last post. I just need to know if I am doing everything I can do for her to keep her comfortable. It is believed that she has either a sinus or uri she showed signs of gaping 2 days ago and clear fluids...
She made it to the vet today ..they put her on Fortaz (ceftazidime) injection 1gm I have enough for 2 weeks..administer every 3 days. They also gave her subcutaneous fluids 10mls. I have enough for 2 weeks as well. She appeared healthy other wise, her weight was great.
I have had her on a towel in her basking area during the day and giving her water, lightly misting plants but not her. During the night I move her a little lower on the towel and keep night heat lamp on her...I read that when they are sick to keep night temps in the 70's I am very aware she...
Vet around here are closed weekends..I have to wait till Monday..so anyone have advice on how to care for her in the meantime. Her eyes are alert but her body is lifeless. I have been giving her water in a dropper..she is uninterested in food and loosing weight

I notice my Cham likes the super worms over the crickets for some reason..she is small so I wouldn't need giant roaches yet LOL I must admit that made me laugh to think of having Giant roaches. This also may sound like a silly question but are these kind of roaches the same as cockroaches? So we...

My Veiled is 4 months old and has never layed a clutch yet but I wanted to be prepared so I set up a tall pot in her enclosure full of moist soil that is very fine and safe from our forest ...anyways she has been eating it ...we caught her 2 times and yesterday we got real worried because she...

I do agree however I live in New Hampshire and especially during the up coming winter months I would hate for her to get cold, I will definitely not use one during summer
