I am having exactly the same problem with my veiled cham, Zulu. You can read everything we've done since December (or earlier -- not sure) if you search by my name, MomofZulu. He has had months of continuous vet care -- I am doing my best to take care of each and every husbandry problem, one...

I had a schefflera in there, and I was told it was poisonous by someone on this forum. So apparently there is more than one variety. I'm so NOT a plant person. I replaced the live plants with silk, but now I'm thinking he needs the humidity that a live plant provides. I know he really liked...

He's getting crickets too that are also dusted and gutloaded. He likes those better.

Thank you, JoJackson. Zulu has been struggling with this infection now for months. We have tried a lot of different treatments, starting with the Baytril which didn't help, and then he's been getting shots at least twice a week since December. I think my biggest mistake has been not...

Can I set up a Mistking in a wire mesh cage? I have a veiled. Also, what plants do you recommend?

Dr. Ren, how often is the Clindamycin administered? Thank you. Mom

This is from my vet: "I looked at the xray I took yesterday.* The mandibular bone (lower jaw) appears to have normal bone density.* However, on the upper jaw, just in front of (and possibly including the front part of) the eye socket, the bone density appears decreased.* This is typically what...

Thanks for the info, Kinyonga. Only gunk comes out of one bump, and generally it comes out by gently pushing on the area around his eyes. It used to be darker -- a gold-brown color, much like the area thatbis hard around his gum line. Now it's slightly lighter. I'm vigilant about this. Here's...

I posted two photos of Zulu's mouth on another thread started by someone else called "jaw problem." For some reason, I can't attach them again, but if you can take a peek, I'd appreciate it. You can see the hard goldish-brown ring around his teeth. He has puss of the same color coming out of one...

Here's another photo. It's a terrible shot, but I think this one shows the color and the shape of the hard, goldish-brown ring around his teeth. You can also see the strings of infection still in his mouth.

I am very very sorry to hear this. I have been dealing with this as well for months. Zulu doesn't appear to have a broken jaw, but he has had a terrible infection that we have been unable to get a handle on, even with proper meds. I am trying to get roaches down him now because of the high...

Thanks to all of you who offered me advice around the first of the year. Here's the latest: When Zulu wasn't eating anything much and showed interest in worms, my vet said to just feed him, and then we'd worry about nutrition. That worked -- he started eating on his own -- and then she...

Thank you, Laurie. I will. You may have missed my earlier, more involved posts about Zulu. He has been one sick little man, and I have been trying my best to do whatever I can for him. He's been under the vet's care now for at least a month. I go in just about every three days now for fluids and...

Thank you, Laurie. Thank you for your most excellent suggestions. I will try them all. ~ Mom

Happy New Year, all! I posted a version of this a few days ago, but I think it got lost in the holiday shuffle. Here's an update on Zulu, and I have a few more questions: Thank you all, for your support. Here's the latest with Zulu: He's interested in food and has eaten quite a few...

I should tell you, on this bird stand, Zulu has the option of being in the water or not, so he gets the steam either way, but it's choice to be under the spray. When I've sprayed him with room temperature water in the past, he's never seemed to like it, so this is surprising to me that he's...

Correction: Today he's really digging the warm water. Go figure. Which is better for him?

Thank you all, for your support. Here's the latest with Zulu: He's interested in food and has eaten quite a few worms on his own. I've offered him small crickets as well, and I'm pretty sure he's had some of those too. Today he's not very interested. He can open his mouth about 1/3...

This came in from my vet, who has been taking care of Zulu while I've been away for the holidays. Any thoughts, folks? > Good news here, I think. *Zulu has been pretty active in his cage and has eaten 4 (I think) worms on his own! *He does not appear to be "striking" *at them, but he gets...

You're absolutely right, Itwas.
