Please respond, I'm worried

[Julirs]

Is he seeing himself in a reflection somewhere? Picture frame? Mirror? Is he seeing any other chams? My male Veiled had a "night-fright" once and went running madly around his cage, but was fine by morning. Does he settle when he can't see you?

No, I was very careful when placing his cage so that he can't see any of the others or himself. I was gone for a short while to get the kids on the bus, I came back to the same thing. I talked to my bf who gets up really early & he said that he was on the bottom & hissing then too.

All I can think is that he must be hurt-you might have to capture the angry beast and take him to the Vet.

That's what I'm afraid of! This is so out of the ordinary for him.I've had him for almost a year & have never seen him fired up like this...not even close to this. He's always been pretty mellow, maybe a gape now & then but that's it. All 3 of my males are pretty mellow. The female on the other hand would take your finger off if given the chance!

 

[littlevillage]

He just laid on his side!

 

[Julirs]

Uh-oh-sounds like Vet now or never.

 

[littlevillage]

He's up again & hissing.

Where do you live? Do you have a vet? If my guy did this I'd be worried to death. Jann

not trying to scare you, but this is usually what happens when their organs start shutting down, and they are on their way out.
i had a male that had bad mbd from over supplementation and one day he decided to shut down. he was barely clinging on the screen and on the bottom of the cage hissing, laying on side somtimes ect, and about 8hrs later he was gone, it was too late to get him to the vet unfortunatly
good luck to you and your guy!

any updates im just reading this in suspense please post somthing im ready to pull my hair out im extremely worried and i dont even know you or him i hope hes alright

 

[littlevillage]

He's laying on his side on the bottom of the cage. He was quiet for a long time, just laying there with his eyes closed. Now he's awake & hissing again.

call the freakin vet already or something! anything?! im not blaming you but i would never let him suffer like that!

 

[spencer k]

hate to be a pessimist, but by the sounds of it, its too late for the vet at this point. how old is he?

 

[littlevillage]

I've been trying to get a hold of a vet. The guy that I usually go to is out of town. I've been thumbing through the phone book trying to find another one. No luck so far. Most of them don't do reptiles or the reptile vet has the day off. Just my luck!
He's almost a year old.

Where do you live?

 

[littlevillage]

binghamton, ny

I'm not letting him suffer by choice! I've called atleast a dozen vets & have gotten no where.

Have you tried this link to search for a vet?

[littlevillage]

Thanks, but none of them are no where close to me.

How about Albany? Maybe you could at least give them a call. I have to drive 2 hours to a vet.
