Why is my veiled chameleon weak, not eating, and tail not spiraling?

Question

my veiled chameleon appears to be very weak and does not eat, she lays at the bottom of the cage and digs and hides under things and sleeps all day, her tail also dos not curl into a spiral anymore, what is wrong with her?

Megan, DVM, CVA · Accepted Answer

There are several things that could be wrong with her like parasites, incorrect husbandry, respiratory infection or even metabolic bone disease. Since she is acting so sick and weak, i would try to get her to your vet as soon as possible. Your vet will be able to determine what is wrong with her and provide her with th proper medication if needed. He will also be able to provide fluids for her if needed. Finally, you vet should be able to help make sure your environment for her is set up properly and give you advice on what needs to be changed to help her heal quicker. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better soon.
