[MissSkittles]

Forgot to add, if you are able to collect a fresh poo to have a fecal done for parasites, I strongly suggest it to be done.

On that note. How do they digest horn worms and stuff like that?

Hi. This may help you if needed to find a reptile vet in your area. Do keep in mind that not all are very experienced and knowledgeable about chameleons. Personally, I would take her sooner than later. Infections can spread throughout the body - called sepsis- and can be fatal. While your enclosure is beautiful, with all kindness I have to say very little about it is proper or correct for a chameleon. If your girl has had poor husbandry, she is less likely to be able to fight off infection and other problems. We can most definitely help get all of your husbandry corrected but first you need to have her wound taken care of. https://arav.site-ym.com/search/custom.asp?id=3661

Op found a vet and will be taking her girl in for 4pm today .

They need adequate heat to digest properly . Basking has a lot to do with digestion .

She is still sleeping, which I know isn’t a good sign.

Update: She went to the vet, she’s dehydrated, had an infection in her leg and mouth. The vet is keeping her overnight to give her fluids, calcium, and some comfort.

Hopefully she will pull through... I am a firm believer in never waiting for Vet care. You did the right thing taking her in now and not waiting any longer.

I hope she will be ok. I'm glad that you took her to the vets.
