big bump on eye

[eliska]

i have an appointment with the vet wednesday morning but is there anything i can do to help?

• Veiled Chameleon- Female and about 6 months old
• Handling - I take her outside about maybe twice a week
• Feeding- I’ve been giving her 5-8 crickets a day, I gut load them with potatoes, lettuce, etc also give her hornworms as treats
• Supplements - i use the repashy bug burger
• Watering - i have the little dripper and i let it drip 5-10 min twice a day and i mist the plants too
• Fecal Description - dark brown, soft, white urates

Cage Info:

• Cage Type - glass cage i think its like 24” x 24” x 48”
• Lighting - t5ho uvb fixture etc
• Temperature - 80°f
• Humidity - 45% i use a hygrometer
• Plants- hibiscus
• Placement - my cage is on my desk which is the high place in my room.
• Location - florida

Bug burger can do this. My female got edema from to many nutrients, i cut back on bug burger to only once a week on my roaches and the edema went away. I guess the roaches had way to much gut load from it. I do fruit/veggies the rest of the week.

Um wait what supplements do you actually use? Like that you powder the feeders in before you give them to her? Bug burger is not a supplement to put on the feeders... It is food you mix and then feed to the feeders.

Additionally it looks like you still have it in the same cage as before. Did you upgrade the UVB lighting or anything? That enclosure was far too small for a Veiled chameleon.
I would go back and read though the feedback you received. Without changes chameleons get sick and then die. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/zillas-not-eating.177979/post-1601609
