 Attention "Thecham"!!

a few more details would be nice.

what kind of cham is it?
how old is he?
what are you feeding him?
what is he housed in?
how long have you had him?
anda few pictures would be nice.

you say your a ways away from a vet so i’d recomend spending a few more bucks on long distance phone calls to get other opinions.

they told me he was dehydrated and that he needed antibiotics


this makes no since to me.. dehydration does not require antibiotics. i cant say for sure(I’m not a vet and i dint have a lab) but it sounds like he may have parasites/worms. but without having a vet sending a sample of poop to a lab i dint think there is a way to tell for sure.

if it is dehydration, id say try raising the overall humidity in his enclosure to about 85 and mist him down more often, and make sure its with warm water. and make sure to mist him directly. that way at least "some" of the watter should get in his mouth.

please try to post some pics and keep us updated as to his condition..
