I would like to see a full body pic of the chameleon.
I would also like to see pictures of her enclosure.
A nice long video of her and everything would be even better, if possible.
In the closeup of her eye you posted, it still seems a little swollen.
I see no reason to "panic"(I never do, and I never recommend it), but the chameleon is obviously suffering from some edema issues.
I do not feel comfortable giving any advice or recommendations without more information.
I will look over your other posts a bit more closely, to see what info is available there, but if you could get those pictures up, and even a nice detailed help form of all the available info on the animal to date posted in this thread, it would be most helpful towards me being able to share anything helpful I may have that would benefit the animal.

I can do pics when I get home from work on Wed- she is in bed now- I know she has the edema- that is the thing that worries me most- it is better, but still there- it used to even be under her arm pits- like little balloons , I wanted to get her a check up,, but now my work is not going to let me, and I have no one to take her for me - plus I would want to be there - she eats, drinks, moves about - tonight she even hissed at me - lol ( I think she has had enough of the camera today
) she is very stand off type - I have also spoken many times to Laurie, and she also says that the edema could have different causes - but thinks it is mostly due to over sup/ - I would have to say I am sure that was the main thing- it was as if there were just to lazy to take the time to dust the crix - so they just filled the feed cup 1/4 full of - no one seems to know what- I did let them know of her edema and told them it would be helpful for me to know what was in the cup so I know what to tell the vet , they were " not sure, its a powder they need every day" - one told me one thing, one another - I wont get an answer from them -anyway, will post info asap

It may also help her to eat some feeders that are a bit better balanced calcium-wise, like phoenix worms. Silkworms and hornworms also have plenty of water in them, so they may also help her to flush the excesses out of her system.
Offering her a constant supply of water via a dripper going throughout the day would be another plus.
Sorry if you mentioned doing this and I missed it.

I have a dripper that runs all day, i can not get her to eat anything that looks like a worm - I am growing mantis for her - but they are not even hatched yet- and I am going to see if I can find a snail or 2 , it has been almost 60 for 2 days here- but will be 7 by Thurs
I offered her meal, super and wax worms - she would have none of them - I am having my friend pick up horns at a show this weekend if anyone has them - and I will try those she seems to pretty much act normal, but we need to find out what/why she has the edema - these little critters- drive us all crazy - lol

update pics - SS
here are pics of her cage - it is 18 X 18 X 36 - I ordered a penn plax 2 X 2 X 4 - and had to send it back- it had NO door, rip in the screen, missing parts and broken side bar
this cage was suppose to be temp/ - but its still ok - I have a tube that runs the top in a spiral so it covers the cage and on a timer so it "rains" in her cage - she does not seem to like mist - so I went with rain - also a 24 hr drip
in her pics, she had already started to hide as soon as I opened her door- so they are not the best- but you can see the odd red-ish color on her side, under her arms , chest and eyes- so I dont know if the color is due to the edema, or she just had odd color- the edema seems to kinda come and go- it is very frustrating - I dont really think she is gravid - she just does not seem to be that big- unless she is in the early stages ?? any advise ?
thanks
