Hi, this is my first post, and this forum looks very helpfull!
Anyway, I have a Veiled Cham, Shes about a year old now and she is a female. Ive had her for about 9 Months, and she has done extremely well, and is quite friendly. She was doing great on Saturday, and Had been eating well. Sunday, she was fine, as well as monday. On tuesday, I was going about feeding her, and when I went to look at her, I noticed she was sitting on the branch very weird, she was laying on it, but with her butt and legs off to the side, just hanging there.
I got her out of the cage, and she acted very unaware of what was going on. When i flipped her over, to look at her belly, I noticed that there was a clear gel like substance coming from, and around her butt.
I held her for a little, and she had acted ok, but when I set her down to walk, she would drag her behind, and not use her rear legs, she would move them, but they wouldnt touch the ground. So i put her back into her house, and she climbed up the side of her cage, with out using her rear legs...
So here are her symptoms,
Wont Eat, Had to force feed her today, she did chew and swallow though
Clear Gel coming from her butt
Dosnt lay on her butt, and just hangs rear end off to the side
Move Rear Legs, but she can touch the ground with them
That about it, she seems healthy, and she is very responsive, but those are her symptoms.
I was thinking that she maybe is egg bound??? And maybe she had an egg in her, and thats why she cant get her legs to touch down?
Any help is greatly appreciated, maybe I am wrong, but does anyone know what this could be, and what I can do to keep her healthy?
Thanks alot
