My veiled chameleon is sick

[Johnson40]

Hi
I have a five month old femelon chameleon. She has done great up until two weeks ago. She is very lathargeic she won't eat she won't poop she drinks a lot of water and she can barely hold herself up. She has still a good grip but will not push herself up. She basically crawls. She doesn't want to lay under the UAV light or basking light. She hangs on the bottom of the cage, but not all the way on the floor. I feed her crickets and medium mealworms with multi vitiam and calcium with d3 three times a week. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong or what might be wrong with her. She has lits of branches and cover all fake plants. Nothing real. She has a plenty of cover, screen cafe 24x24x48. Please help

Sorry that she isn't feeling well! Fill this form out as detailed as you can, and maybe post some pictures of her and her set up? First thing I see is adjusting her supplementing schedule, you can definitely overdose a chameleon on D3 and vitamins.

yes please provide answers to the questions above.

Does she have a laying bin?

Sounds like she might have MBD but we can't tell without more information. If it is you need to get it under control ASAP.
Please answer the questions in the how to ask for help thread at the top of the health forum.

OK. Thanks for the quick response. I'm working on the form now and will be as detailed for your input and expertise. She is part of our family and hate seeing her like this. Thank you so much.
