Hi posting here cuz I'm not sure what else to do
My veiled chameleon Lilee has not been eating for a couple days and this morning I saw some blood in the spot she likes to poop...igave her a warm water bath because up until this point should have been eating like crazy and I thought maybe she had an impaction/constipation but I'm beginning to suspect a bigger problem
she is roughly 10 months old she has never laid eggs does not appear to be gravid she still has her juvenile spots
temps ~70f-78
basking ~85-90 incandescent daylight
uvb reptisun 5.0 tube replaced 3 months ago
open air reptibreeze cage the large one
diet consist of about 30% crickets and then phoenix worms (larvae and adult), hornworms, superworms, mealworms (and adult beetles), silkworms, Blue Bottle flies, the occasional wax worm or adult moth....
supplements: she gets calcium without D3 at almost every feeding a multivitamin once/twice a month
gutload (for crickets)
Fresh washed dandy-lion, fluker's Cricket gut load, cricket gel, sometimes squash carrot or blue berries
The other insects get different types of gut loads depending on the species requirements.. nothing I would deem unsafe after research
Drinking:
There's a fogger system that allows water to collect on the top of the screen to drop two leaves also a dripper system and I hand mist two or three times a day ( sometimes she's lazy and just like to sit by the edge of the screen with her mouth open and have me spray directly into it lol)...shes been drinking a lot just spent about an hour drinking yesterday
she did just get over an infection a bit over a month ago which developed an abscess on the bridge of her nose the local exotic vet give me Baytril shots to give her every 3 days this went on for about a month while we also drained the abscess
This was about a month ago her behavior went back to normal her appetite picked back up she began eating much much more than she usual
About 3 days ago she stopped eating and became pretty lethargic I've noticed her taking quite a lot of naps during the day and noticed blood where she usually poops
I thought maybe she was impacted due to the amount she's been eating so I gave her a warm water bath yesterday and today to no avail... but after the warm water bath today and I put her back in she began trying to pass something but all I saw was blood attached is a picture
I would normally just rush her to the vet but my exotic specialist is out of town for 4 more days
Does anyone have any idea what this can be and what I can do to help in the meantime...i love my lilee whatever I can do to help her
also she has had an egg laying bin present for a couple weeks just in case although she shows no signs of being gravid or even mature enough yet
let me know if you need any more information attached is a picture whatever she was trying to pass bad angle but didn't want to scare her or she would stop
