Chameleon weird behavior

[Carl The Cham]

I have a nearly 4 year old panther male chameleon and he just recently went to the vet because I thought he maybe had a respiratory infection. Turns out he didn’t but they gave him antibiotics and now he is acting pretty weird. He has only ate one bug in about 5 days but is drinking a bunch of water and he either moving a bunch or pretty much completely still depending on the time of day. I was just wondering if there was like a recovery time or something from the shot he got or if there is something else weird going on.

Meds can be really hard on them. They can stop eating due to it as well as become lethargic. This is why unless their is a positive diagnosis of something being wrong we tend to avoid medicating.

Do you have any insects that are his favorite? some will go for high value insects even when they feel bad.
