we got in yesterday from a day out (only gone 3-4 hours)
went over to tim like we do whenever we get back in and he comes straight out onto our hands.
his grip seemed really weak on his front right leg and everytime he was trying to walk it was just collapsing and he was dragging it.
ive never been so upset over an animal i was devistated.
since it was around 10:30 when we got in on a saturday night we rang the emergency vet straight away but because theres not many that specialise in chams around in a 20 mile radius we were limited to what we would do.
Every single one that we rang the vets that knew about chams wernt on call that night! i was furious. so we had to wait until 8:30am to ring the vet and get an emergency appointment today (sunday). we took him there right away. the vet was lovely and confirmed that it was indeed a break.
just above his elbow. so he gave him a makeshift cast with bits of plastic tube around some cotton wool. and wrapped it all up. Tim never even flinched and just let the vet get on with it! so proud of him.
weve had to take every single thing out the viv bar the heat lamp and the uvb. weve just moved them into the cage, theres no way he can climb onto them as there still too high for him to reach.
here a pic of him bless.
all in all it was only £157 for the emergency call out, and strapping him up and the appointment in 2 weeks to check up on him.
