then bust up the person who let it get that bad

Hey Renee!
Ok... I've gotten over my disgust with people... I'll try an help. I've taken in sicker looking chameleons than that and a few have made it. What did your vet say? I'm surprised he didn't say to euthanize her. Be that as it may, what kind of treatments did he suggest or what are doing at this point?
If she were here, and I HADN'T seen my vet yet, I would set her up in a tank with no sticks or cage furniture. I'd put a towel on the bottom, bunch it around her so she doesn't tip over and maybe a UTH or heat pad in case my overhead bulb isn't warm enough. I'd give her SQ fluids and maybe a dose of pain meds. Since you don't have either, try a small amount of water by mouth to see how responsive she is. Again these are measures I would take to make her comfy until I saw my vet for a further course of action. I would assume treatments would be force feedings and calcium/vitamin injections/pain meds daily to bring her back. It will be costly...
I would be very surprised if she makes it through the night.
Good luck!
Trace

the vet said since I don't have the $$ [OSAP didn't come in yet.. it's due Tuesday] he won't do anything for her cause I can't pay for it.. the vets here are scared of herps.. anything that's not a dog, cat or horse has no place around here
I gave her some pedialyte.. she drank about 10 ml of it.. I've got her in a small tank with a UTH and a 60 watt bulb..
I made some of your bug juice but I used super worms that I had beheaded and peeled so there was very lil chit(however it's spelt*.. [that is one GROSS job!] then added some Miner-All I, some collard greens, and some all natural mixed fruit baby food. ground up all fine and syringe fed about 10 mls to her.. I'll take another pic of her tomorrow.. I don't wanna disturbe her that often.

I agree with Brian, I think it has suffered enough.

That's unreal! More power to ya for taking her in. I'll pray for the little girl and I'm sure if she doesn't make, it won't be your fault.
