So, On Saturday I noticed Pico had a swollen back, inside part of her foot. I looked at it quite closely, which pissed her off, but I couldn't see any obvious wound, and her nails were all there. Of course, It was Saturday, so I spent the weekend worrying, and trying not to read all the sad stories on here about other cham's feet. On Monday, I called Dr. Greek, but couldn't get an appointment until today.
Pico seemed off her food today too, as nothing I put in her dish seemed to appeal to her. Anyway, I packed her up in her bucket this afternoon, and off we set. It was only about a 45 minute trip, so I know I'm lucky compared to some. Dr.Greek was very nice, took her in the back, and got some pus out of her foot. I now have antibiotics to give her for two weeks. She slept in her bucket all the way home, and was very glad to get back in her branches.
Not quite sure how I'm going to give her meds at 6 in the morning, when she's not awake yet. Night time I would have the same problem.
Will try to attach some pics!
