Need help an answers for my chameleon

[QueenPanda]

Hi i got a 1 yr old female chameleon, she was doing very good till she started to not really eat. She could catch nothing with her tongue. Now shes been hanging upside down an always laying on the floor. I dont know if she's sick or dying. The other is her spine near her tail is lifted up an i did touch it an she turned her head so fast.. I knew she was in pain. The other thing is that her head is soft. My mom is the one taking care of her she did put clear wrap on her cage so idk if it was that. Shes getting plenty of light an food an calcium. Plead help an give answers..

She appears to have swelling on her back foot and her back doesnt look good. She needs to see a good exotics vet with chameleon experience.

Yea definitely take her to the vet!

When was the last time she laid a clutch of eggs?

Odds are not in your favor take it to the vet sounds really sick I would definitely be concerned

She never laid eggs. I wont breed her.

They can still lay eggs even without being bred. Not sure if you knew that.

 

[Lennoncham]

have you taken her to the vet yet?

 

[Thehippie]

female veiled chams need a lay bin of 1'x1'x1' to ensure that they can dig and lay their eggs, if she is as old as you say she is she may be egg bound and needs a vet asap

Didn't know that

This is her right now which we been giving her meds an warm baths, heat lamp an uvb. All she does is stick her tongue out an breaths heavy. She does try to walk usually. We shove 1 worm in her mouth everyday an just meds.

 

[Thehippie]

make sure she is drinking too, did you make that vet appointment yet?

 

[Goose502]

Chameleons should NEVER sleep during the day, nor on a flat surface. She looked very egg bound. You most likely have an expensive vet bill coming to remove a ton of eggs.

@QueenPanda NEVER put any chameleon, healthy or not, in a bath. I doubt she has 24hrs to live or, more accurately, suffer. As mentioned several times above, she needs a vet yesterday!

how is she doing? Did you take her to the vet yet, if not go right away if she is still alive because she might still make it through, you don’t want to be responsible for her dying in pain do you?

 

[Graves923]

Not expecting a good outcome with this... Hopefully the OP did the responsible thing and take that cham to a vet.

So sad
