I can't say for sure. How long has she been this way?You sure she doesn't have an RI. An adult lizard doesn't need much D3. Once a week is plenty good. Sticky Tongue is the supplement I used . I used T Rex Leopard gecko dust for babies and Juvies. I used it every day with them. But I also don't use UV light. UV and D3 don't mix well. Chameleons will just puke for a day or so then they are fine. The Mercury vapaor bulbs really load them down with D3. So supplements aren't needed as much. If you use UV light you shouldn't use D3 in the supplement. D3 over dose usually doesn't cause that big a problem unless it was really over done.
I used to get chameleons from a guy that used Mercury bulbs. I would have to give them some time to get the extra D3 out of their system so I could feed them the way I wanted. If I didn't they would puke every time. I don't know if a vet can help or not. But if it has been going on for longer than a few days. Then I would say maybe something else is causing problems. It's really hard to say with out looking at the Tegu myself. If you had a Bottle of Vet RX you could use it to help with it's breathing and the RI if that is what is wrong. All reptile owners should keep it on hand. Tylan 200 is another good thing to keep on hand.

[QUOTE="Harveysherps, post: 24717, member: 67"] I can't say for sure. How long has she been this way?You sure she doesn't have an RI. An adult lizard doesn't need much D3. Once a week is plenty good. Sticky Tongue is the supplement I used . I used T Rex Leopard gecko dust for babies and Juvies. I used it every day with them. But I also don't use UV light. UV and D3 don't mix well.
