If your not able to get to a vet then you have a serious problem. No one should give you dosages for an animal they know nothing about. Someone once said if you don't live near a reptile vet you shouldn't own them because they will get sick it's just a matter on time..

We can't diagnose your cham online, but most likely it is a nutritional problem. We would need a LOT more info on how your cham is kept to even guess. The problem is even if we do have some ideas you will most likely need a reptile vet to treat this. To help you with some ideas here are some websites that have good info that may help. www.adcham.com, www.geocities.com/ccicenter, www.herpnutrition.com

Good news! Make sure you give him extra water. This antibiotic is hard on the kidneys. Extra water will help him process the drug and do less damage.
