[reptyslick123]

hi everyone i have a gravid female that has a small eye infection and i have just bought some reptaid to treat the infection would i still be alright to treat the infection with reptaid.

i have spoke to my reptile vet and has has said that it may of been caused by an overdose a Vit A i have spotted using it untill the infection and swelling goes down.

If you read the instructions it says to NOT use on pregnant females. Can cause a miscarriage.

i would call chameleon northwest they are very helpfull and should be able to tell you what or how to help her.

If there is infection and swelling it is not a Vit A issue-it is an infection that needs to be treated. Get some Terramycin, or get some antibiotic drops from the Vet-do not let eye infections go.

Is this the same chameleon that you said had a cold and had swellings on the nose area and fell and hurt its lip?

 

[reptyslick123]

yes she did fall about 5 months ago but that was due to the fact that she was climbing on the screen roof and lost her footing she is perfectly fine now. but also she has a swollen eye at the moment i posted that about 1-2 week's ago i have spoke to my vet had he says to stop vit A which i have and give her regular shower and leave it for a couple of week's.

the swelling has gone down a little over the past week

Is it okay to use human eye infection treatments products on reptile as that one you recommended was for humans.

Thanks Alex

You can order Terramycin from LLL.

What ever happened to the lumps on the nose?
Did the lip become infected?

 

[reptyslick123]

she has never had a lump lump or been infected on the nose but thank you for knowing that the past couple of comments are from the same person as in me.

i will look at lll reptiles and she what they have my potentially buy in soon.

Thanks Alex
