Hi Snip, sorry to hear about your cham. We need a little more info so we can help you out. Could you fill out the ask for help form https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ I know it takes a little time but it's really worth it. Also, could you post any pictures so we can see what your cham and enclosure look like. That would be a big help

so far from what i read with the eyes sunken in, and her making noises it sounds to me like a upper Respiratory infection....not good at all get her to exotic vet ASAP cant wait around with this ....

how often do you mist/drip? arent sunken eyes due to dehydration? you said nothing about her drinking habits, the more info we have the more we can help
ya sunking eyes = no water intake, but with the noises he is saying she is doing and lethargic sounds like a URI to me

You can try flushing the eye with saline solution. If that soesnt help within a day or two you need to get some anitibiotic eye drops. To flush the eye just squirt the solution into the open eye and then let the cham do its eye cleaning thing.

give her a nice long hydration shower, like texas panther man said, try washing the eyes out with saline solution too. you might want to up a little bit more on plain calcium to help strengthen her incase your cham falls again
