Not sure what wrong with my chameleon

[thephotoprincess]

Is being underweight a cause of sunken eyes?

Yes, I had a chameleon that refused to eat and lost large amounts of weight even with feeding her a liquid diet via syringe. She was drinking fine and parasites were not an issue. She was a WC melleri and did okay for a few months and then just went downhill and refused food. The vet confirmed the sunken eyes were a sign of emaciation.

I've rescued a couple other melleri that were emaciated and had sunken eyes even though they were drinking fine and had no other signs of dehydration.

Well that must have broken your heart.

Thanks for adding that info.
