About a week ago my year and a half old chameleon went to the vet for an eye infection. They got the infection out and gave me eye drops to put on her eye 1 time everyday for 2 weeks. I've been giving her eye drops everyday but for the past few days she hasn't been eating or drinking, shes dehydrated, and she's been getting weak. I currently have her in a tote in my room that i spray. Ive been trying and get her to drink, ive been taking a small dropper and putting water in her mouth and shes been swallowing it.
What all should I do to try and help her?
 
It might be more going on than the eye. If you fill this out, it would help to see if it could be anything else. Pics of your entire enclosure and chameleon will also be invaluable.
