Question
Hi there, i am rather desperate now. I am totally heartbroken seeing my flap neck chameleon like this. Her name is Paula. She was found roaming around my boyfriends factory, I couldnt bare to leave her in those conditions so we brought her home. We have spent thousands of rands ensuring her husbandry is perfect. She has a bask lamp, uv lamp, eats crickets every day with calcium and d3 dusted on. She used to sleep with her red light on, but lately prefers total darkness. She has been very healthy. Beautiful colour and loved climbing all over me. We changed our cricket supplier 2 weeks ago and it seems since we did, she stopped pooping and didnt really eat. She became a horrible dark almost black colour and sat in one spot the whole day. She deteriorated over the last 6 days so i took her to a vet today. He gave her an enema and injected her wih 3 different things. I dont know what they were, i only know the one was for parasites. When he was done, and he gave her to me, she was bright yellow with black stripes. She has been sleeping the whole day and is turning black and her face has a grey appearance and her eyes are totally sunken. I cant handle seeing her like this. She also makes awkward movements, almost like shes trying to process stuff in her tummy. I have opened her mouth periodicaly and put drops of water in and also making sure her cage is high in humidity. I need your help. Please tell me she is going to be ok. Please tell me she isnt going to die. I love her more than anything in this world. I dont know her age, she might be 8 months or a year old....

Answer
You...need to back up and follow my directions as I laid them out, or you will get no help here from me. I have a very specific set of instructions that was plainly visible to you when you selected to ask me a question. FOLLOW THEM, else go back to your vet. That's as nicely as I can put it. You have already wasted valuable time by not following instructions.
