What is this?

I've read the white in their poop is normal for pee, so what is this liquid? I was holding her, trying to get her to eat, and it came out. Also she seems really skinny to me.
Sorry I am posting so much, I don't know nearly enough.

Infection or parasites I would say... What has she been eating?

She hasn't been much, she ate one cricket the first day and I'm afraid maybe some of the substrate maybe got in her with it. I didn't know she wasn't supposed to have that, she also drank out of a bowl of water (also didn't know, ugh) and maybe from there? She also ate two wax worms and meal worm two days ago.
 
Im so sorry your first chameleon experience has been so horrible. Petco better pay for your vet bills if something is wrong with her. Maybe you should talk to the manager that sold you the chameleon and gave you bad advice.

Thank you for putting in the effort of trying to make this right!
 
Well the Vet visit went okay I suppose. He was an exotic pet one but he said she should be more colorful and that she is kind of skinny, which I agree with the skinny but thought because she is a female and young her colors wouldn't be all there yet? Gave me some supplement for her called "Carnivore Care" and said to give her small amounts more often until she eats more. Said that the urine was because she hadn't been eating and that she was probably super stressed so my husband and I are going to try and find a more quiet area for her in the house but I don't think that is going to be easy with two little kids.
Also said to up her temp to 85-90.

Petco did pay for the visit at least, they said they would cover it since she still wasn't doing well. What baffles me is the manager who sold us her has one himself, so he should have known better!

She looks normally colored, and not skinny in the one pic.
Most keep females at 80-85 I believe, to keep them from producing infertile clutches.
 
To me she doesn't look thin...her tail is good and round.
The liquid can be a normal part of what comes out of her...but it there also a white part and a brown part with it?
You said she doesn't eat much...how much is she eating?
In a previous thread you said..."Temperature is now at 90, we have a temp gauge at the bottom of the tank"...is that the temperature at the bottom of the cage? How hot is it then at the top?
