I know I came across that thread too! I am under the impression the vet wants me to feed any and all things to get a diverse diet, then the pinkies are supposed to help him get back to his normal weight? I like your take on SIMPLICITY! I like this. I am going to get him outside more this...

The vet seems to know what hes doing, but he mentions that when we don't know 100% of what is wrong, it's had to diagnose. I know what I did and did not do for my chameleons, and the research i am doing is proving my theories. My only thoughts now is..... if my panthers organs are fine and...

He said he sees chameleons all the time for different things and he had jacksons before. Dr. Boyer received his doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) degree from Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, in 1989 after completing his pre-veterinary work at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Dr...

My panther came in with gular edema ( i believe from d3 oversupplementing from a recommendation from a pet store), my fault for not researching better, went to 2 vets, 1 vet treated for 2 months 3 different treatments for neck infection. 2nd vet is treating for fatty liver now because 2 blood...

Can you show me where you found out pinkies are high in protein and it can lead to gout in chameleons? My chameleon just started eating pinkies ( vets recommendation) and i want to get all the info i can on food. Thank you!

I just came across your post. Where did you find out pinkies can cause fatty liver disease????? I have a thread i just started a few days ago and my vet thinks my panther has a fatty liver and he is recommending pinkies as a source of nutrition. Panther has never had a pinkie until 2 weeks...

I have a question for everyone...... What kind of bugs will help in (D3) fat soluble vitamin absorption? If Linus has to much d3 in his system, then can bugs help absorb it? In natural sun chameleons make their own d3, will he not make any if there is too much in his system and will the...

Ok, so i called the vet and here is my sum up. Mazuri has d3 in it! , Linus us also taking an oral calcium (Neo-Calcium Syrup) every morning and i dust the food every day with a Calcium without D3. Vet doesn't feel this is overdoing it. When Linus eats a pinky, his neck the next day...

Thank you for your knowledge and experience, that really helps! I think it is the Mazuri diet food. My package is just green with the name Mazuri and it's registered with a R next to the name, but the only thing is has on it is the directions and doesn't really say whats in it! I'm going to...

I've put him outside when its 70 or higher, but this past week it has been cool and we live in a condo by the Harbor and if you step outside its super windy, but I may just have to put him out if the real sun will help him more! Thanks!

Forgot to include. No x-ray done, but 2nd vet says he may have a little calcium problem. He's always been a strong little guy but since January, lethargic, sluggish and bloated. :( 1st vet said no need for calcium at all if bugs are being supplemented correctly. All the research told me I...

That's right. I only used Miner- All I only a couple times a month or less once he got to be 1.5 years only and ate crickets and mealworms which were gutloaded with cricket cubes (made for them). I gave him calcium with d3 ( 1 week in January 2011) and put him in the sun half the week/ half...

Thank you for all your information! When I supplemented him for a week with d3 in January I still wonder if it's in his system? That's when he got this edema and it has remained til this day, but gets huge then goes away throughout the day.

Thank you for your information! I rarely supplemented Linus for 2.7 years and never had a problem. I've been researching (sucks it took me a lizard being sick to get me into researching more), and i've been finding out through owners that are into this the correct info like what you told me and...

Once I took him to the vet, the vet told me to stop the juice (kale/collard greens), since he wasn't anemic. I started giving him celery juice (it helps with fluid absorption and i wasn't for sure if it was helping or not), used it for 3 days last week then stopped. I just hate that i've been...

Thank you! Let me know if there are good websites or books for information! The vet said he was underweight! That's why I just started feeding him pinkies. I'll find out how much we weighs tomorrow when i call in.

Back legs look swollen too, since this started, looks worse.

Chest and armpits swollen, this is the least it has been, but usually gets huge, like a balloon, daily. Will post when it gets bad again.
