My cham always opening his mouth

[rancid22]

After few times of revisiting the vet, and special observation. My Cham dehydrated problem has been solved, I've bought a humidifier and keep switching on for 24hours, so it keep the humidity for around 88-90%, a dripper has added on and a rainner has been set to once per 3hours for 60secs.

At night, air conditioner + Ceramic heater to keep the cage around 26C, may take if off after he is 100% overcome.

One good news is he stared eating himself again since 4days ago, at this moment, he still having 1 cricket each day. I hope he will eat more later.

Hi, you keep your humidity levels at 80-90% ? Why are you using a humidifier and is that preferred over misting? Is his cage ever dry? What local, again?

Could mean he's hot

maybe, but he said there was ALOT of saliva which is indicative of a URI

Hi Paigesc, I'm in Hong Kong, the vet ask me to rise up the temp & humidity until the cham getting well. and it was dehydrated before. and a humidifier is a must for it at night cause I'm using air conditioning and the humidity will drop down to 4X%. Don't worry, all humidity and temp will back to normal after it is fine.

Cheers

Yes, it was URI and Dehydrated. And he may on the track now. One thing I'm not sure, there's no more saliva in it's mouth, but I heard a little pop sound again from his mouth. It didn't rise up his head during sleeping already and most of it's habbits also backing to normal. Should I get him back to the vet again for the antibiotic? I'm just worry that too much antibiotic will be harmful to a cham.

Cheers

rancid, I'm so glad he's doing better. I think I'd give the antibiotics a few days to take full effect before bringing him back to the vet. It's good that you are paying attention! Keep doing that.
