Current Problem - My male went from happy and healthy this morning and eating and drinking to being almost dead barely clinging to his branch. I have had my share of illnesses with all the chams I have owned but nothing so severe so quickly. I did not have any warning as he was eating from my hand yesterday and was out being shown off to some friends who havnt seen a cham before. He showed absolutely no ill signs at all. I am going to do whatever I can to get a vet visit asap but I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good vet as the one I have used before has never been able to do much other than prescribe me meds for my own diagnoses...... I dont have a clue what could have caused this and am praying he makes it through the night. if anyone has any info or help its greatly apreciated.
