I don't think I told my story about how I got my female veiled but she was my brothers girlfriend's who took her in from someone who wasn't taking care of her. I was watching Xera while my brother and his girlfriend went in vacation recently. My brother and her got into a serious car accident and sadly, his girlfriend passed away. I don't know much about chameleons but I've had MANY types of reptiles so I started researching as much as I could. She was doing great but now she seems to be going downhill and I'm desperate for help. I know she needs a vet, I'm working on finding one who will see her but there aren't many anywhere close to me. In the meantime, maybe you guys could give me some tips.
She recently, in the last few days, stopped eating. Her eyes are shut most of the time (although she can and does open them.) I recently read that compact uvb bulbs are bad for her so I removed that and will be getting her a long repti 5.0 bulb (I may have said that wrong.) I've been taking her whole cage outside everyday and misting her with the hose and syringe feeding her water, which she gladly drinks. Her eyes are a little sunken in but not a whole lot and she isn't super lathargic but she does seem a bit sluggish. I don't think she's ever been offered a lay box but I made her a small one but I don't know if it's right.
I read that I could mix apple, banana a d chicken baby food to give her. Is that correct?
I'll post pictures of her set up when I get off of work.
