Problem with female panther after laying eggs

I was wondering if anybody has experienced any problems with females after they lay a clutch. I have a female that started wheezing after she laid a beautiful 21 clutch. She was perfectly fine before I bred her and now she's wheezing a bit. I don't have a vet anywhere around that takes reptiles so I kinda freaking out. Does anybody know of a supplement I can order to dose her to heal her infection like Reptaid or something. I guess it's a lung infection but her ribs look like they could be broke or dislocated. I'll try to get a few pics of her breathing but I noticed this morning she hasn't been eating for the past day or so. After laying the clutch she ate like a pig. She may still be gravid but I'm afraid if she lays another clutch soon she may die.(Which I definitely do not want to happen.) Thanks for looking or the help!
 
If it's an infection then only an antibiotic will help her :/ Which might be an issue if you don't have any vets nearby. There isn't a single one that treats exotics? Even a couple hours away? It's a pain to drive so far, I know, but it's better than losing your girl.
 
It sounds like she is in need of a vet. We have other members here from AL. You might start a new thread looking for a chameleon vet in AL and see if one of these members can recommend one.
