Baby chameleon sick...please help!

[Ashley1983]

We have a baby female around 11 weeks old. She’s been doing great, but about 10 days ago we noticed she wasn’t opening her left eye. This is our first reptile so I wasn’t quite sure what to do. After research I have been placing her on a plant in the shower and letting it mist her to try and flush it out. She has now stopped eating and only drinks in the shower. She never moves off her favorite vine. We have no vets that will take exotic pets and she’s so small I doubt they could do much. Any ideas?

@Ashley1983 is your chameleon still alive?
I just saw this post now.

 

[Ashley1983]

Yes, I don’t know for how much longer though. She has gone down hill so fast.

You never mentioned what kind of chameleon you have. Please fill out the form posted by Camryn above in as much detail as possible, including pictures of the chameleon and the cage. We can't help without that information

We really do need more information so we can try to figure out what's going on.
What species of chameleon? How old?
What's the basking temperature?
What size insects are you feeding her? Will they fir easily into her mouth?
How do you know it's a female?
Etc...
