HELP MY CHAMELEON IS DYING!!

[JOSHWAH]

Hi everyone
i got another cage and my chameleon is living inside it alone, the average temp is 30c, i always msit water about 3 times a day just as i mist the other chameleon. Suddenly She just started swinging her head violently and vomiting water. I took her out and tried to force feed her. She just looks a little dehydrated so i fed her water, and she started vomiting bubbles again. She was already very week and cant walk without falling, she shows no sign of MBD like broken elbows or weird shaped tails or whatever. Now she is dead but i still do not know what the problem is. Rest In Peace Skittles

why have you try to forcefeed?
Maybe she was choking with food or any stuff inside the cage? any plastic stuff or substrat? you have picture of your setup? how old is she?
(we need a bit more info if you want too understand what happened and how to fix it for your next chameleon.

Sorry for your lost, RIP little

It is only because my chameleon is getting worse, i do follow everything you guys say but it doesnt seem to be healthy, i have confirmed my other alive baby chameleon has lung disease and will make another post to see how to cure it

You need to stop making multiple posts. You're going to get better advice if you make 1 thread and stick with it

Even if you follow what we say all we can do is give advice on what might POSSIBLY be the problem. Even a vet can not give you an absolute answer without actually seeing the animal and assessing the problem. You should take your Cham to the vet to find out what is really wrong with it. Reading stuff and trying to diagnose it yourself is not the greatest idea. Yes you can get some idea of what is going on but your best bet is a vet visit.

If you are not experienced, giving water via syringe, especially in such small animals, can result in aspiration and have fatal consequences. Essentially they drown. How soon after being given water via syringe did the chameleons exhibit distress? This is 100% a contaminant or aspiration, in my experienced opinion.
