If you could fill out this form in as much detail as possible, including pics of your cham, his lights, and his entire enclosure, it'd be super helpful!
Here is some recommended information to include when asking for help in the health clinic forum. By providing this information you will receive more accurate and beneficial responses. It might not be necessary to answer all these questions, but the more you provide the better. Please remember that even the most knowledgeable person can only guess at what your problem may be. Only an experienced reptile veterinarian who can directly examine your animal can give a true diagnosis of your chameleon's health.

Hi Friends, I went to an Exotic Pets Vet, took me half an hour to get to him. He checked Barroco's mouth, very pale. He told me to wait in their lovely garden & he would call me. The verdict: Weight: 60.0 gram, half the weight he should be. He put Fluid Injection into his body. Into his legs Flagyl 0.10, Baycox, Panacur all 0.10 grams. Then Calcium Gluconate 0.5 grams. This morning he was very weak but this afternoon was a lot stronger, but stayed on the plants at the bottom. I put him outside in the sunlight in the afternoon. He has not eaten yet, hopefully will tomorrow. Vet gave the one injection which is the same as having 1/2 a Cricket. Will update tomorrow.
Glad you got your chameleon to an Exotics vet.
It would still be a good idea to answer the questions @ERKleRose posted and post some photos of him on here so we can see if you need to make changes.
