I do have an exotic vet near me who I can take her toWho is your local vet? Do you have a reptile specialist near you? Regardless of what she's doing, or how she's acting, you should take her in for a check up. The excessive thirst is certainly a concern. Chronic dehydration can also lead to death. I lost my male, Echo, to a stomach torsion and he did vomit once, and had these strange coughing/wretching episodes for a couple of weeks. Then he went off food, but drank a lot. Poor thing ended up with a horrible and painful death. I had him to the vet 3 times, and it wasn't until after he passed that we discovered the problem. The necropsy showed that his stomach twisted where it connected to his intestines. I am not telling you all of this to scare you, but your cham os showing some concerning symptoms and you should have her checked out sooner than later.
She is a little bit on the chunky side and always has been, but now that she’s a year old I can start cutting back on the food amountI think it's fat. Look how chunky her back legs are!
Too many worms can contribute to fat. They are ok as an occasional treat or change of diet but only very occasionally.She is a little bit on the chunky side and always has been, but now that she’s a year old I can start cutting back on the food amount
