I have a veiled cham, only a few months old, had her for 3 weeks. Seems she has a URI or similar, vet has given me antibiotics, an anti inflammatory and a powder food to mix with water. All are to be syringe fed.
Two issues;
1. The antibiotic when syringed came straight out of her nostrils in a think gooey substance
2. Both times after administration she’s closed her eyes and been pretty unresponsive. Last night I had to wake her up to put her back in her vivarium.
Original symptoms are opening her mouth and breathing in big gulps, sometimes squeaking. She’s 100% gone off her food, has lost weight and is dehydrated.
Has anyone else had the same/similar issues, or know what either of the above could mean?
TIA
