HELP injured chameleon

I am amazed that chameleon is still breathing with a thru and thru impalement in that area. Their lungs extend along each side of their body inside the rib cage. Even if the lungs were spared the damage to other organs could prove fatal. If not, infection and stress would be the next most likely to set in.

Sorry about your chameleon. I don't want to sound like a broken record but I agree with everyone else.

Pleaseeeeeeee do not get another one... you now know your cat will go after it as well. Cats are hunters. Not only is this Cham going to die but if your parents do not want to get vet care for this that is so aweful then if anything else comes up that requires vet care your going to be in the same situation. These are very fragile animals that require expensive care, correct lighting, feeders, supplements, humidity, and a safe environment where they will not be in danger of getting eaten by another animal.
Ohhhh, you are about to catch so much hell for this post!
