My veiled isn't waking up!

So my veiled chameleon went to sleep in his normal spot last night, hes been going to sleep early the past week. his lights came on about 7 hours ago and he hasn't moved yet. Hes always been good with being handled so i touched him on the foot to see if he'd wake up or give me any reaction. his eyes are moving like they normally would but they aren't opening. I've never seen him like this in the last 2 years i've had him. i just called the vet and they wont be able to see him until monday at the earliest and i dont think he's going to make it that long in this condition. is there anything at all anyone can recommend for me to do? eyes are bulging a bit. he changed to his more aggressive colours when i touched him and inflated himself a little bit but other than that he's not responding.
 
he just sat up a little bit. most i've seen him move. someone please lend me some quick advice? i dont know if like a steam bath would be good or something like that?
 
his housing is where it should be. temperature, humidity is all where its supposed to be at. he gets misted 3 times a day for 3 minutes. hasnt been eating well lately. hes been going to bed to early
 
so i noticed small bubbles on his eye when i looked super close at the small opening and took a warm wet cloth and wiped his eye. got some eye goop out of each eye and hes now behaving completely normal. case closed! thanks for the help everyone :)
 
Must say sounds like he has a infection. I would keep a very close eye on him and still get him to the vets asap.
 
i will for sure bring him in on monday. i'll keep close watch on him. hes back to his old self right now and both his eyes look very healthy and open again. if he has the same problem tomorrow i'll know for sure it's an infection. hes coming up on his annual vet appointment soon anyways.
thanks a lot. im relieved he still seems to have all his strength
