I just saw your post as I was searching for a vet my Cham. Is this place experienced with Chams. Went to two vets last week, but they weren't familiar with the subtleties of a chameleon. Thanks.

Your very welcome this is such a fantastic forum . I'm as well new to chameleons not lizards bit chameleons . We have one veiled and a baby panther coming we hope in the next few week .what Species Chameleon do you have ?
A Jackson. He's a boy, about 1.5 years old. My son hasn't been continuously dusting his feeders with vits, and I wonder if he doesn't have a nutrient deficiency. Also just got new light from Light your Reptiles, so hope that helps. Both vets said he doesn't have signs of MBD, which is good, but I think something's up as his eye is puffy on the lower lid. He had it drained last week, and the fluid was clear, but now it back. Oh well, hopefully he'll be OK.

Hello again everyone, just a quick update. After calling who knows how many vet clinics, I finally found one in my area who sees exotic animals. At least the receptionist said they see and have experience with chameleons. Peepers has an appointment on Monday, so we shall see how it goes. He is scheduled for an over all check-up and a poop test. After his appointment I will post an update on how it goes and the clinic contact info.
