My chameleon's tongue is swollen, red, and won't go back in.

Question

I found my chameleon with her tongue barley hanging out, took her to get some drips on it and she dropped her tongue like never before, tongue not going in, almost looks like swelling at the tip and bloodshot red the rest of the way up

Check the temperature in the cage. Make sure it isn't too high or too low. Soak Cheech in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will provide warmth and hydration. She should be seen by your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet as soon as you can to diagnose injury or infection.
