I just found out I have a female veiled, she layed eggs about a day or two ago and ever since that she's been very sluggish. She is a dark color. Her eyes are sunk in. She's alway climbing around and never on the ground but she's laying on the ground and won't move. She won't eat or drink and when she tries to walk or move it's like she can't hold her self up. We got her two years ago from petco. I feed her crickets and meal worms with calcium. I have no clue what to do nor do I have a clue what's wrong
Very sick female chameleon

Could be shes retained eggs, is low on calcium, etc...so I would get her to a vet asap. She won't have much time from the sounds of it.
In the meantime...Please post a photo and answer the questions in the how to ask for help at the top of the health forum. Please be specific about supplements, feeding/gutloading etc.

Agreed! Vet visit is needed, like yesterday! And get her off of the mealworms. They are not good for chams. Superworms are much better. She sounds entirely depleted nutrition, water, and calcium-wise. I pray you can save her, but she sounds pretty critical, right now.
If she is that sick,u will need to bring her to go see a chameleon specialist vet asap before its too late,in the mean time keep her well hydrated with a syringe,slowly drip the water in her mouth,one drip at a time since she is not drinking at all as u stated,without water,she will get even weaker n possibly death,u will need to do it right away before its too late.
