Hello,
I have a female chameleon that is about 9 months that laid her first clutch of eggs about a month and a half ago and hasn't ever fully recuperated. After she laid her eggs, growths started appearing on her joints and are swelling up. The vet took x-rays and MRI and said there didn't seem to be anything wrong with my chameleon and that the growth were soft and might be an infection. She instructed me to give my chameleon injection every 3 days for a month. Unfortunately, we just finished the course of treatment and my chameleon isn't any better. My chameleon recently started falling from branches that she never fell from before.
I used to give her only crickets, but then started changing up her diet. She liked phoenix worms, horned worms, and wax worms, but didn't care for dubia roaches. I'm just worried, she was the picture of health until she became gravid and laid her eggs (which were 50!).
I notice the skin on her limbs are also becoming less pigmented than the rest of her body. If you know of any great chameleon vets in Chicago, please let me know. I have been going to the Exotic Pet Hospital in Oak Park and after $1,000 in tests and treatment, my chameleon has actually gotten worse. They gave me a vitamin D supplement, then food supplementation, then Vitamin A supplement, then the month antibiotic treatment.
Below see pictures of problem areas.
