@ERKleRose Thank you

Would you recommend the 10,000 IU capsules for the OP (that’s the recommended capsule strength for panthers and veileds)?

 

[JacksJill]

Buy the lowest strength available and use the smallest amount you can smear on a bug. Don't do it more than every 3 months it has the risk of overdose just like D3. D3 will stay with them for 2 months vitamin A can stay for 6 months. Under normal circumstances I would stick with the chameleon supplements and only use the capsules for extreme situations.
I know others use them regularly. I'm not comfortable with that because I don't know exactly how much I'm giving,

If you want to keep it simple for now just get human Vitamin A retinol capsules and put a tiny smear on a feeder that he will definitely eat. Do this only once as it will last in his system a while. Then get your appointment on Monday. Then you can get him on a more normal schedule later.
It can be hard to find multi without D3

Thanks for your help! Is he going to be ok from this? How severe is this

 

[JacksJill]

He could be fine it's hard to tell without knowing how many doses he got before you got him. If it's caught early and corrected they can live full lives.
A couple of weeks worth is likely fixable.

Would a very small amount of this on a bug help him out with this. I’m sterilizing a blunt string to extract it

That is the correct product. Don't expect immediate results but appetite should improve gradually as the D3 levels drop to normal.
