I would definitely take her to the vet as soon as possible.

Along with the form, please post pics of your enclosure from top to bottom, showing lights on down to substrate and drainage. Thanks.

The picture is blurry but that looks like blood in her poop. If it is she need a vet more than anything at this point.

 

[jamest0o0]

Haven't we been over care form with this person multiple times?

 

[Rhea’s mum]

Did you take her to see the vet after eating the fertiliser balls? Did she ever lay the eggs from being gravid?

 

[MissSkittles]

Anytime blood is coming from anywhere on one of my animals orifices, they automatically get a vet visit ASAP.

Yes.

[Cammy36]

We usually move her inside outside so it's not bare

 

[Pickle-cham]

I still think the best course if action is to get a vet to check her over with the blood & smelling. other than this us she getting enough privacy as she will want to lay eggs in a safe place and likely wont want to be watched while she digs.

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

IDK about the lack of appetite & bleeding—got a herp vet appt. yet?

Both those enclosures could definitely use more plantlife ( notwithstanding) & climbing apparatus. Humidity is probably (guessing) pretty good where you live, but I don't see a hygrometer of any kind (digital hygrometer/thermometer w/ probe is best). Live plants help increase and maintain humidity. Foliage also provides privacy & security; she may be feeling quite vulnerable.

I really wish he was real

 

[PoseidonTheChameleon]

So have you still not taken her to the vet???

 

[PoseidonTheChameleon]

You know, as soon as you find out something like this is wrong with your cham, usually you take them to the first vet you find that will take chameleons (if you dont already know of good one which is what I'm getting from you other thread) and you ask them if they can help and what to do. You dont post multiple threads and not take any action or use any info that we are giving you. Shame on you
