My cham has had her left eye closed for a few days now, i thought it might of been because she was shedding, but she finshed that yesterday, im getting a little worried now.. Any help would be great thank you.

For starters, try to flush her eye out to dislodge anything that might be inside.

Yea iv tried, iv given her showers everyday and stuff but still no good.. I read on that last link that she might need more vitamin A.

 

[Scottandliz]

Would vit A help?

E-mail with Vitamin A info sent. Let me know if you did not receive it.

If you get results yay or nay, please post. Thanks.

Yea i got it thank you. My cham is a veiled. Does your email still appy or is it just for panthers?

 

[Chameleon Company]

It would still apply. Many have had success in identifying, and remedying, vitmain A deficiencies in velieds.

So i need to go buy some retinal palmitate and put 1/20th of a drop on to a feeder once a day for 5 days??

 

[Chameleon Company]

That would be my advice.

 

[Scottandliz]

Could you post a link to where i could buy some retinyl palmitate please

You noted that you received the email that I sent. Included in that email was the following:

Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, as is Vitamin E. It is most commonly sold in gel caps, with each gel cap containing approximately three drops of an oil solvent. It is available on-line from many suppliers, or is sold in most vitamin and health stores. The most common, and consensus most effective form of vitamin A, is a compound known as retinal palmitate. It is a common human food supplement as well. Depending on manufacturer, gel caps may contain 2000-25,000 iu’s (intravenous units) per gel cap. Read the label to insure you are buying a product with retinal palmitate as the Vitamin A. The solvent may be fish oil, which outside of its odor, is OK.

You can usually find an adequate source at such as a GNC store. When looking online, here’s a link: http://www.carlsonlabs.com/p-27-vitamin-a-palmitate-15000-iu.aspx

However, if the link has expired, google “Vitamin A Carlson Laboratories” and you should find many product options.

The link that I provided works. As does a search as indicated. Hope it works out.
