Oh sorry you just meant the name lol. It is a part of the New England Wildlife center. Since it is not only a vet office, I feel like the prices are not as steep as other exotic vets. They actually operate off of donations, vet fees, and charging for tours to the wildlife center. They have a bunch of turtles and different reptile that actually live there. I have never toured to center only been for vet visits but my daughters school and other schools in the area take field trips there. They have a website if you're interested. It is actually a pretty awesome environment. They have a huge box turtle that just wanders around the facility

I wasn't saying something negative. That's a catchy name for his business is all. Kinda like a jingle you hear on TV that sticks with you.
Hey I have this problem with my female veiled chameleon what do you suggest I do

This was a long time ago but if I remember correctly he was put on a course of antibiotics for respiratory infection. How old is your Cham? I would suggest starting a thread with your husbandry and some pics of your Cham. There are a lot of great staff and participants in this group!

At some point the swollen casque did come back. I did not have it treated again and Rico lived for 3 additional years and passed from an unrelated issue.
Where would be a good place to get antibiotics

The vet is the only place we’ve received antibiotics. I’d definitely take her for check. In Rico’s case it was air. I have heard other theories and experiences of others saying different. I think a vet is the best bet. Can you post pics?

It wouldn’t hurt to get her checked out. In my experience after the original RI was treated, he continued to live with it without issue. No real way to tell if it is the same with out getting her checked. Good luck!

Did it occur overnight or within days? Because this could also be overweight? How much and often do you feed her?
Please post several more photos so we can see all of your chameleon from the side as well.
What supplements have you been using and how often for each. I’m particularly interested in whether they have phos, calcium, D3 and what form of vitamin A they have in them.
How many insects do you feed her in a week and what kinds of insects? What do you feed/gut load the insects with?
What specific lights are on the cage? Basking and UVB.

Thank you so much it is really nice to have a second opinion on this thank you
It has happened over months and I Feed her about 5-8 meal worms every 2 days

See the post above from @kinyonga about obesity. 5-8 every 2 days is too much. We feed females only 3-4 feeders 3 times a week. Plus meal worms aren’t good feeders and should have a variety of feeders. Please open a new thread as suggested by @Beman Then we can help you better with some structured advice.
Thank you I didn’t know I will change her feeding up
