Broken ribs??

Notice at times looks like the ribs are caved in and then other times looks like there’s nothing wrong. Are they broken ?

Ok Wasn’t to sure cause the way she flex’s her tummy. But makes sense like air bags. Thank you I appreciate it
 
Is the possible respiratory infection getting worse?
I still hope you’ll answer the questions so we might be able to help.
 
What supplements specifically are you using for your chameleon and how often for each. I’m particularly looking for phos, calcium, D3 and prEformed vitamin A.

What specific UVB light are you using? Long linear or folded/curly one?

If you’d like a husbandry review please answer these questions…

•Repcal calcium without d3/ with bee pollen every feeding
•Repashay calcium/multivitamin low d3 2x a month
• uvb is repti sun t5 5.0 linear

Not sure she eats and drinks regularly. But she still occasionally mouth gaping and sucking in stomach. She did a physical exam close to 3 weeks ago and vet said she looks good no bubbles in mouth or green stringy thing eyes are good. But I ended up booking this appointment on the 6th for a second opinion.
 
The second opinion might be a good idea in this case. I don’t like it when they suck in their stomach when gaping.
 
Hi I've noticed my chameleon has very similar bumps on her ribs, is this maybe ossification? Maybe she fell inside her cage when I wasn't looking? She has no issue pounding small superworms and crickets, and I haven't noticed any gasping breath

Hello! My first thought is calcium deposits, my girl used to have them when I rescued her, but after getting her husbandry correct, they went away! I would suggest making your own thread asking about it, so it doesn't get mixed up with this one!
