Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon- Veiled, female, ~10 months old; Been in my care for 7 months
Handling - Usually- very rarely, 1-2 times per week for less than 5 minutes (during cage cleanings)
Last 3 days- 2 times a day for 30 minutes-hour trying to get her to eat/drink
Feeding - Usually- eats crickets and roaches. Altogether, she'll eat about 5-10 insects per day. I feed her every morning. Gut-load with orange cubes, yellow cubes, gut loading block, and dry cricket food. Also provide apple, potato, and shredded carrots.
Last 3 days- Has not eaten or drank ANYTHING. Tried to hand feed but wouldn't take anything. Put wax worm into her mouth but wouldn't even chew it, just let it hang there. Tried to use syringe to give her water but too afraid of aspiration.
Supplements - Usually- Liquid calcium sprayed onto feeders 1-3/week; very rarely use calcium with D3 (maybe once every 2 weeks); have never used vitamin supplement
Last 3 days- Tried to deliver liquid calcium by mouth by way of syringe
Watering - Usually- Little Dripper and hand mister 2 times per day for approx. 2 min (just until all leaves are wet and dripping); Yes, I see her drinking, she will drink while I am spraying/misting
Last 3 days- Shower method, mister, will not drink
Fecal Description - Last dropping 3 days ago- First part- Orangish-tan; Second part- Whitish-tan with what seemed to be undigested insect parts, very mucous; Never been tested for parasites
History - Has not grown well at all, still very small (I think) for her age. Or at least very small compared to my boy veiled, same age
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen cage 12x12x24 (was is bigger cage 24x24x46 with my boy but moved 3 weeks ago to small cage after I observed our male having "unconsented" sex with her)
Lighting - ZooMed Repti Basking Spot Lamp 50 watt; ZooMed ReptiSun 5.0 UVB; 12 hours on, 12 hours off
Temperature - Cage floor-75 F; Basking spot- 85-90 F
Lowest overnight temp- 70 F Measured with ambient air thermometer
Humidity - Do not measure; Just spray 2/day and let the dripper run for 20 min. 2/day
Plants - Pathos
Placement - Not located near any fans or air vents. Located in room next to stairs but the room is just passed and not entered usually. Top of cage 4 ft. from floor.
Location - San Antonio, TX
Current Problem - She has been laying on the floor of her enclosure for the past 2 days. VERY weak. Did not take to vet because I was certain she wouldn't make it past the last 2 nights due to information I read on the forum. What does this sound like??? What else can I do for her?? We're willing to take her to the vet if we can get a better idea of what may be going on with her and that there's a chance that she'll actually live. Please, anything helps. We really don't want her to die.

I really hope you get her to the vet. She WONT just snap out of this and she MUST be seen. You should be dusting with calcium without D3 every feeding. I'm sure you see this in the female first because their body uses/needs more calcium. You need multivitamins too. PLEASE read this and change anything needed
