My veil's leg is swollen

My veil's left back leg appears swollen. I know he did not break it falling from his branches because he still moves it fine. and am wondering if anyone might have any guesses as to what it would be.

It also appears that he might be impacted as well. Any suggestions on that as well would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for all of your help.

Howdy Erik,

Can you post a photo of that swollen leg? Swelling of a single leg could be caused by an infection. How old is he?

Impacted? What are the symptoms you're seeing? If it is a case of "simple" impaction then direct oral hydration using a 50/50 mix with Pedialyte can be very helpful. For an adult Veiled or Panther, you could try 2ml 1-2 times a day for 1-2 days. If things are too bound-up then a vet's assistance may be required to save your chameleon's life. Any doubts about what you want to do then head to the vet ASAP!
