Sick

[Wren727]

Baby about 2 months. Had him for 1 month. Isn't eating or drinking. Sunken eyes. Sleeping during the day. He was tilted verticle with his head upwards with mouth open this morning, not normal. Barely moves about.

Uvb and uva lights on from 8am to 8pm.
Water dripper into a cup i dump daily. Also mist twice a day.
Fed crickets daily. Hasn't eaten in 3 days.
Tried milworms today but he wont take them either.
Tried to get him to eat with a syringe of mushed crickets but he won't.
I moved his decorations to lower him in case he falls.
I put calcium on his crickets with d3 everyother day. i know i need to get the calcium without d3. And i use multivitamin twice a month.
His cage is in my room with no through traffic where its quiet.
The temp at the top is 90° near the lights and at the bottom is around 70°. The humidity is around 50.

I have a vet appointment thursday. But i feel thats to far away.
What can i do?

Get to a very sooner is my opinion. Do you have a picture of the chameleon and the enclosure?

He was trying to climb up but fell on the dirt again. I did get a lil piece of mush cricket in his mouth. Hope that helps.

He does not look well. Without being in person, and knowing other factors, my "best" temporary solution is to get him some water, he appears dehydrated, which can be delivered via shower (if you know what you are doing) or good misting. Search how to give a shower, then post on what you think it is before attempting it.

He's really in need of help right now or I don't think he will make it. All the symptoms are not good.

Any update on this little guy? Goes without say that i agree with the members above. He/she doesnt look good. Could very well be dehydration since misting twice per day is not nearly enough in my opinion unless you are misting for 10 minutes at a time.

Also, D3 every other day is not healthy. D3 will build up in the chameleon system and cause issues.

Hopefully your vet is able to get this guy the help he needs.
