little no tongue - so glad I took him to the vet

[Carlton]

I know my one little rescue Gail had this packed in her gums - its so sticky , the CC - but in its own way, thats good, I think they have less risk chocking on it -
I hope this little guy comes around, I am more worried about water than food to be honest - I just can not seem to get ahead of the dehydration , he even had an " IV " shot of liquid into his abdominal - his urates look good, not orange, but his eyes are sooooooooooo sucked in still - part of that may be just the low body weight ?
I already has a person on FB who uses this say she will now check her chams mouth close from using the CC - I hope this little guy will be one of those who also can be here a long time - tongue or no tongue, he sure is a cute little guy I have a Jax here who came in missing part of the front of her face , part of her foot, and some of her tail- she is doing well, and the missing part does not seem to bother her at all

Chams will suck in their eyes for more reasons than dehydration. He's been through a lot, probably hurts a bit too. Also, I've found that a cham that has been dehydrated for a while takes time to fully bulk up again. I've taken in rescue melleri who took a long time to rehydrate even with lots of long drinks every day. As they drank they produced long strings of clear saliva (which I now consider a sign of extreme thirst). A couple never did stabilize and needed watching every day for months. With these I suspected some kidney damage that may cause them to be less efficient at balancing their hydration.
