Swollen Horn???

[pssh]

Which brand are you using? It may not be as bad as most have lead you to believe.


I would definitely take her to a very experienced chameleon vet. If you push gently on it is it squishy or hard? Maybe there is some form of infection in the casque?

Normally I would say she is just chubby, but the fact that it wasn't really gradual is concerning me.

dosnt look like this doctor has a diagnosis either"...I think it looks like a teaching site. There's a place at the bottom to email the person or site owner...maybe they could give you more information. I met Daren when he was a student....good to see he's still interested in reptiles!

the calcium with d3 we are useing is ZOO MEDS Reptivite with D3

i sent a email to that website not sure if it will actually get to the dr tho

and my camera is taking very blury pictures ..... but lets say her limbs are a bit swollen too what would i do in that sittuation?

I never stated that the casque could become swollen from excessive d3 I was just reposting a thread that said d3 could cause swelling in the limbs and I asked him to post a few more pics of his cham just to be on the safe side. Also, we don't know how much natural sunlight the chamelon gets. Correct me if I am wrong, but d3 should be regulated by the amount of outdoor use the chameleon is receiving, no?. My breeder Kammerflage recomends while they are babies, and juvies, d3 twice a week and then at 13 months or so they cut way back on ALL their supplements. I believe different supplementation schedules can work, but also the d3 that is recommended on here seems to work also with all the healthy chams pictured on this forum.

You are correct, I wasnt referring to you in my post.
