I have a chameleon (Ruthie). She has been lathargic and not herself. Low appetite. She just lays there. I took her to vet Tuesday and I was really surprised to hear Dr. say she was fine. I really disagreed with him but just told myself he knows best. He said she won't lay eggs for another 7 months. He said if she still didn't have an appetite in a few days to go back for an xray. I really want to take her back asap but I don't know if I should just wait a couple more days or go somewhere else. I cleaned out her habitat completely and she seems a little more awake but still doesn't really move around or eat. I made her hiss at me and sprayed some water in her mouth as she did so she can st least have water. I don't know what to do.
Any advice helps

They can develop eggs as soon as 5 months old and she looks like she has them. Might need to get a second opinion or an X-ray.
Yes it will absolutely cause decreased appetite.

Can you show us a pic please?
That's an aquarium, I have a few of the exact same one. "All living things habitat". It's aquarium with a vent on the top side.
It's not an adequate habitat for an aboreal animal.
This is it, is it not?
Can't seem to locate this?
So I have her on soil and she is like completely laying on soil (entire stomach area). Is that a sign she may have eggs??
No it's not that and don't have time to push thisCan you show us a pic please?

Chameleons are aboreal animals, your Cham needs a cage that is vented, whether chimney effect or screen, and at least 30 inches of usable height.
Push what? I have 4 of those aquariums, and have had or currently have pretty much every glass Vivarium on the market. That is an aquarium, and it is not suitable.
The only company that has that specific vent structure, is the "All living Things" "Aquariums" they can call them what they want, they are Aquariums with a small strip of venting.
All living things, does not make a Viv tall enough for a Chameleon.

Seriously lol... your chameleon looks healthy. As long as she has space and heat and humidity she’s good habitat wise. I honestly am not sure about the symptoms for laying eggs but my baby is shedding right now and is acting weird so i understand the scare. things will go back to normal, fingers crossed for you
