My chameleon is dying! Help fast,

[Mustangsally]

I don't think he will pass the night.
He is on the bottom of the cage, has a hard time moving. I had to make him mad, so he open his mouth and I put 2 crickets in his mouth. He swallowed them, but I tried to give him more, he keeps his mouth open until the cricket gets out. I gave him water with a spoon.
I dont know if he is dehydrated, or what.
I will take him to the vet tomorrow, but in my town, I dont think there is any vet that knows chameleons.

Help me!!!

Has your chameleon been sick or was this just all at once? When did he stop eating on his own? Where do you live? If you will fill out the info above it will be very helpful.
