Calcium he uses for iguanas would work for a cham. The only difference would be the dose, which should be by weight. Describe your setup in detail with humidity etc. How long you've had her, any specific symptoms you know are not normal based on your other cham, and any info from her former owners about how kept, what was done wrong or right, and for how long. If you are not convinced she needs a treatment the vet suggests, ask the reason for it. There are some things vets often do automatically (such as Baytril just in case there is an infection...but they don't test for bacterial sensitivity first) that you should not just take on faith. Don't assume the cham has any particular problem unless there is a definite symptom to suggest it...URI without respiratory symptoms, MBD without symptoms such as weak grip, uncoordination, limpness, the fracture (but this can also be from trauma not MBD). I'd rather have him check a diagnosis or treatment with a colleague and THEN treat it, not just shotgun just to be safe.
