Hey everyone,
the vet said she died of severe kidney disease, and the doctor suspects it was cancerous. So sad that a little animal can die of something like that :(
Yeah my boyfriend pretty much bought her spur of the moment. NO research, he knew she would be a lot more work than most reptiles, but I doubt he knew the complexities of the female cham...
I'm going to ask the vet for the x-rays and if they give them, I will scan them and post it up here...
The options were:
-liver disease/something toxic in her blood. Anything to do with her enlarged liver.
-A spinal disorder which has no treatment-from a bit of build up along some parts of her spine, and would explain her paralysis.
No she didn't have any eggs anywhere. He explained the...
That is so kind and thoughtful of you, maybe we should do it for the next time someone needs urgent help, I would love to help out a little and do my part since I am working now and have an income.
$260 dollars and they couldn't even help her...and they still haven't called about her blood...
I just got home from work and found her...she died and I wasn't even there. I am so devastated. Sooo devastated :(
The vet couldn't help, but maybe it was just her time. She was 4...
Yeah see this thread. I explained her illness and there are 2 pics of her condition earlier today.

Thanks! That's an awesome thread. She has been almost 5 months in this place.
My bf had the UVB lamp over her for most of her life. We are concerned this might be why she's so sick now or if its just because she's old. She also gets natural sunlight, the window is right by her and often...
Oh yes I know. Don't worry! :) The lamp is usually higher, elevated right at the top but we lowered it to give her warmth because she's in the dirt (see at the bottom?)
To give her water we shower her and drip water droplets from a bottle over her head/mouth and she drinks that way. She's...
Oh...hmm..Well she doesn't need to be spayed anyway, she doesn't have eggs. She just can't move. The vet gave me a few options of what it could be. No eggs on that x-ray
Hey everyone,
I just got back from the vet. He thought her behaviour was very strange, not good :(. It's almost like she's paralyzed, her arms and back legs are stiff in place and so are her claws. Only her eyes are moving!
BUT she is not pregnant, no eggs at all. The vet said it's not true...
I'm bringing her to the vet in 2 hours, wish us luck everyone!
Shes laying on her side now and won't move except for her eyes so I hope she will be ok!!
I'm in Ottawa, I called a vet, they said they take reptiles but to go to this other place Crown Pointe Animal Hospital, who have a vet especially for reptiles. It's also a hour long bus ride, I'm worried about transporting her too. Is anyone in this forum from Ottawa???
Thanks everyone for the advice! I hope she will be okay.
The next available appointment is June 1st, which is no good. Emergency appointments don't allow payment plans which really sucks for my financial situation. Ugh worst time to be broke!
Letting her just be in agony would be cruel...
