Antibiotic Side Effects

So I was recently prescribed antibiotics for a mild RI for my baby veiled chameleon. She gives me no problems taking them once a day, and I know that water intake is important with antibiotics so I’ve taught her to drink from a syringe recently. My one concern is her appetite. She hasn’t eaten in four days, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the meds or if I should be concerned. I’ve tried feeding her crickets, wax worms, and some fruits and veggies. She won’t eat anything and she’s not interested in food. Any tips?

I believe that's Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
Make sure you give the chameleon lots of water. I think it can cause appetite loss, but I'm not positive. I'm not a vet...just what I think I was told about it when it was used on my chameleons from time to time.
