Sick Veiled Chameleon

When she does the bursts of walking is her belly off the surface she's walking on?

 

[Sarahmarie307]

Yes for the most part. She'll lift herself up and take a couple steps and then lay herself back down.

The poor girl just looks miserable and I don't know what else I can do while I'm waiting on the calcium from the vet I turned her cage on its side and padded it down with towels and did the shower technique in case she is dehydrated, but it seems like she's just getting weaker by the minute

Her back leg.... the specific localized swellings in it, and the general swelling on her front legs and more specifically the joints on her hands? Anyone experienced with gout, the kind that causes uric acid deposits in the joints? She strikes me more symptomatic of this just looking at her physical deformities and her general weakness etc. Idk for sure though, I haven't dealt with gout like that first hand.

 

[kinyonga]

Can't tell if the back leg is from MBD or your or an infection. It's kind of odd looking to be sure.
I'm also concerned that she may be gravid and need to lay eggs. Did the vet say anything about eggs or did he not x-ray her whole body?

 

[Sarahmarie307]

She xrayed the whole body but we didn't see any eggs. But I do have a laying bin in her enclosure at all times
