Update on Vert

[baggedd5087]

So i drove the four hours to denver and missed 3 finals in college but the vet said i need to force feed him and water him with a syringe. he showed me how and said once he gets rehydrated he will want to eat and drink on his own im having a hard time getting the syringe in his mouth he is so small i cant pry it open with anything is there any way to get him to open his mouth i've tried firing him up but he doesnt have enough energy and i dont wanna stress him anymore then what he is. and also is the Zilla Calcium Spray w/o D3 ok?

and the vet said i probably gave him a vitamin A overdose. and to just keep giving him fluids and that will flush him out

You could try to open his mouth by pulling down GENTLY on the gular area (throat pouch) below his jaw. Also, some chams will gape if you cover their nostrils with your fingers.

I'm not sure I understand about the spray you mentioned. Spraying the cham with anything other than your normal misting won't do much. They don't absorb much through their skin.

well its a spray that you spray on their feeders and wait like 30 seconds for it to dry then feed them

I'd just stick with dust. Try holding his body so he feels enclosed, they usually freak out and gapewhen you do that.
