can I use this?

I have a new rescue and I was wondering if I would be able to use this supplement I have four chickens on her seeing as reptiles and birds are very similar.http://www.mannapro.com/products/poultry/life-lytes/nutritional-information/

I think chameleons have a problem with artificial vitamins. I thought about using my layer feed for gut loading, but decided against it.

I do also use repashy and Reptical w/o d3. She just really needs a boost. I could buy pedialyte but i would rather not give her an artificial drink. I am also adding chaga to the cricket gut load. The poor little girl has what sounds like a URI and she is thin. Hasnt opened her eyes for weeks. I just got her yesterday from work. I've been monitoring her for months now and she has been slowly declining so I finally got them to give her to me.

Sounds like you have a mixture of problems. I would highly recommend taking her to the vet with all the issues you've listed.

The problem with adding products that are not specifically formulated to treat a diagnosed problem is that they can mask the REAL issue, complicate the results of any testing, and make things worse. Supplements for chickens may not be designed to do much more than increase egg production (not necessarily what you want for a sick cham). I'd hold off until you get an experienced vet's opinion on her issues, provide her with what we know is a correct diet, hydration, and lighting and she may do much better on her own.

Chams are not mammals. Their slower metabolism means they take longer to recover from health problems.
