My Carmie died today:( she was just over 4 years old. There was a bit of a learning curve when I first got her but she stuck with me through that and had a good healthy life. I still can't believe how fast she went downhill in the last week. I would like to thank everybody for their knowledge...
I got a few decent pics of Carmie's tongue this morn, there is a yellow substance on her tongue that can be wiped off, There was a bit of blood as well. The rest of her mouth looks good. Is this considered mouth rot or would it be a tongue infection? Or are those the same thing? I'm going to...
So I've been looking in carmies mouth and her tongue has yellow stuff all over it, from what I have researched on the forum she has mouth rot, I am going to get her back to the vet ASAP for some antibiotics. Does anybody think that his could possibly be causing her weakness? I'm not really sure...
Carmie was at the bottom of her cage again this morn, she looks a bit better, I just got some water into her and put a light for heat lower in her cage. I got a look into her mouth, her tongue has an orange look to it rather than pink, this concerns me, any ideas? I tried getting a pic but it's...
here she is this eve, her eyes look horrible, she looks like she is getting dehydrated, I'm hoping the juicy hornworm will help hydrate her, I am going to try another tomorrow, she has gone downhill very quickly.
very week grip, she has fallen into laying bin, she ate a big juicy hornworm , I had to hand feed it and help her with it. she has only eaten close up since eye puffiness issues, Her mouth looks good, vet checked it last week. I have found her in lower areas of cage the last two days, very...

The vet didn't think it was a sinus infection, just clogged up sinus'. She has never laid eggs and there is a proper laying bin in her cage. I will fill out the form and pics soon as I'm currently not at home.
I believe my 4 year old female veiled Carmie may be dying. She has been going downhill quickly. I had her at the vet a few weeks ago because her eyes were puffy and she couldn't see to eat, the vet figured it was blocked sinus ducts and suggested eye drops. I started using the drops and her...

So here is a pic if Carmie's eye today(they both look the same) The drops and showers don't seem to be doing anything, hopefully the vet comes up with a solution, she goes back in two days. I gave her a big...
Thanks, I have been keeping an eye on her mouth and all appears good so far, no mucus which is a good thing. I'll be keeping a close watch on her eyes for signs of her closing them but so far she always keeps them open. I will hopefully know more after her follow up vet appointment this Wednesday.
Thanks for the info, the link to your ordeal gave me more to discuss with the vet, The local breeder uses the same vet so he has a bit of experience with chams.
Thanks, I had not seen that, it sounds like its a blockage, perhaps caused by a small sinus infection, I'm hoping the showers and drops loosen it up. She goes back to the vet in a few days for a follow up.
Miss Lily, thank you for providing that link. I read through your whole ordeal, sorry for your loss. Just to be clear your vet doesn't actually know what the actual issue was affecting her eyes? Did the vitamin shot seem to help her eyes before she passed? The showers and drops don't seem to...
