Don't feed. Don't heat. just normal ambient temp. Not eating is not an issue at this point. It will only make her more uncomfortable.

Just make sure she’s comfortable and hydrated for the time being. I have a Leo named beans so I keep getting reminded of her. All my love and support goes out to bean

I wonder why the chameleon vet wants me to smash food & syringe it to her.

 

[BoujeeGirl]

She was trying to crawl out of her laying bin a moment go. I just wish I could make her feel better & love on her like my doggies.

 

[Lindasjackson]

I’m so sorry! I’m sure this is so hard! I pray someone would just get her in and that it would be a knowledgeable reptile vet!

they want you to do that to give her strength.

I would be extremely hesitant on force feeding. And honestly with egg bound females the last thing you should worry about is her eating they can easily go a week or two without any issues.

That seems odd at this point. Also you can't get smashed bugs through a syringe. My male was injured a while back and I had to use a syringe. There is a formula to make bug juice I can look up if needed. But as a not my male went 3 weeks before I attempted to feed. He know lives on 1 bug a day due to having no tongue.

The point is their food requirements are low, especially if not basking and staying around 74. I would watch for dehydration, but if misting you should be OK.
Most vets aren't going to know everything about an animal like this, but that doesn't mean they are not good and can still help alot, more than us that is for sure.
Don't be afraid to ask the vet, Hey I heard ....

She doesn’t seem to want to eat. Just weak back legs & heavy back end. Strong grip still. Lol. I hope she will be ok & pull out if this.

Strength is a good sign. I hope she lays them for you and is OK.

That’s better than nothing. Reptiles have a reputation of being or looking super ill and then pulling through like champs. Not a reason to not properly care for them, just shows how amazingly strong the can be.

Is the sand in laying bin still moist? But not to moist?
