Many of the multi vitamin supplements have vitamin A. Depending on what kind of cham you have the schedule can vary. Panthers and veileds get a dose of multi vitamin dusted feeders every two weeks.

See if this is what you are looking for https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/food/
Are you looking for a brand recommendation?

I can give her more vitamins if I need to. I've read that the vitamins she gets have some vitamin a as well as many others (obviously). But with this recent eye thing I am thinking she needs more. I've read about fish oil capsules. Is there something specifically for vitamin a I can pick up to give her? She's a veiled. About a year old

That is a possibility. New lights can cause problems sometimes as can trauma from scratches and some other things. A vet can give you the best information. Look up the thread on eye problems. It has a lot of good information.

It's easy to over dose them with fish oil or human supplements. Be sure of what you are treating before you do too much.

She gets calcium without d3, calcium with d3, & a multivitamin powder on a proper schedule. I feel like with the eye thing she needs more vitamin a I am just unsure of how people give it to their chams when they're deficient of it

Thank you!

Someone else might be able to recommend a better brand of multi vitamin that you are using.

Im alittle late to the party with this but Ive read that gutloading your feeders with food items that contain vitamin A will help. Collard green, kale, ect. some people may coat a cricket with a drop of liquid Vit A from a gel capsule too.
