My 9 month old needs help!

Myles is a veiled chameleon who has stopped eating, stays on the floor of his cage and looks sickly. Just noticed a black spot on his leg! His hind leg looks painful when he moves. His eyes are not swollen. This has been happening for the last few days. What should I do?

Vet, vet, vet. If he looks sickly then it might be too late for anything you can remedy at home. Try to locate a reptile vet that has seen chameleons before and make an appointment as soon as possible.
