[Littlej124]

I walked in on my female Panther chameleon shedding so I thought nothing of it misted her and walked away when I came back she was hanging on by her front two arms and un able to use her back legs as if they were paralyzed I put her back in and she was in able to stay on the branches just kept falling off she made it threw the night she is eating but still in able to use her back legs anybody heard of anything like this or what I can do to help just waiting to hear from others

Welcome to the forums. I am so sorry to hear about your girl. She needs to be seen by a vet with some good chameleon experience right away. If you do not have a good vet tell me where you live I might be able to refer one.

Take xrays probably, is she still not using her back legs?

 

[Littlej124]

Ya she is still not using her back legs they are very weak she can't cling to anything with them

Ca and/or D3 deficiency is the usual suspect for rear leg issues. Especially, if she has had clutch(es) or lack of supplements or UVB.

She is drinking and eating a lot I got calcium and vitamin supplements to put on the food I feed her what are some other things I can get to boost those things up like anything I get to put in the water or something ??

That's good news! Is she able to use her back legs?

 

[Littlej124]

She is recovering

I went and got some calcium and vitamin supplement to put on the food and she has been eating and drinking normally starting to gain some strength in back legs but not all
