jackson not eating or drinking...help

[Alex87]

i have a female jacksons cham that isn't eating or drinking. the only way she will drink is if i use a pipette and put it in her mouth, then she will lap it up happily she just wont drink on her own. the same with feeding, if i put food in her mouth she will eat but she wont hunt, she is very week as well. please help i don't want to lose her and it seems pretty urgent.

It sounds as though your chameleon is suffering from stress that could be due to a problem with her setup, or is suffering from a more serious ailment/illness. Is the weakness she is suffering due to the fact that she hasn't been eating, or was she already exhibiting weakness when she stopped eating?

Please post detailed information about your setup as suggested in this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/
The more information you provide, the better equipped the members of this forum might be to point you in the right direction to correct your problem.
Also, putting up some photographs would be very helpful too.

please help i don't want to lose her and it seems pretty urgent.

PS. If it really seems that urgent, you should get her to a vet even before you get any responses out of this forum. Unfortunately only a vet can provide the hands-on care that a cham in a grave situation really needs.

don't give up on feeding/watering her by hand. until she is able to do this on her own you will need to do it for her.

have you taken her to the vet? any diagnosis?

A picture would be helpful to see if she has MBD.
