Update:
So the first day I brought him home I noticed him gasping with a slight wheeze, and as I woke up this morning... I started to notice him do it significantly more often than he has been, with even more wheezing. I've been hoping he wouldn't show signs of a URI... but life can be rather cruel. Today I called petco... the destroyer of pets everywhere... since that is where we purchased him from and they said we had two options:
1) Send him away to some vet I don't know about and let the store that caused said infection to handle the treatment...
2) Or exchange him.
If I was in NY? I would have just bit the bullet and brought him to the vet myself. I don't like the idea of someone else going and doing the treatment for me... but sometimes you don't get to have it the way you want. So as of current, I decided to create my very own third option...
3) Pick up the other male they had in the store, take care of him and wait for Simone to come back from Petco's "vet".
I just hope to see him come back in good standings... it's never comforting to know he is with someone else, even after such a short period of time.
The wife is devastated since it's her first cham...
Do you have any names lined up?
