sick panther chameleon

Hi every body,

I have a 7 month old male panther chameleon. it's two weeks that my chameleon lost his appetite and he refuses any kind of food except 1 or 2 superworms a day. ( he used to eat at least 3 mid. size crickets a day)
also he is not so energetic as he was before.

I had a same experiment with another panther chameleon (female 10 month old) !!!!!! I brought her to a vet but he couldn't do anything.
