My chameleon has been acting very strange lately. It started about 4 days ago when I came home one night to see him Laying at the bottom of the pot of his plant right side up. I picked him up and put him at the top of the branches where he usually is. The next day I took him out to examine him and noticed he cant walk/climb. He had sunken eyes. He kept gasping for air so when his mouth was open I tried to drip some water in and i was successful. The next morning I found him at the bottom of the cage with his feet grasping each other. They had a death grip on each other. It almost like he couldn't feel it. He is always gasping for air now and always has two feet on the branches and leans back like he is sitting in a chair and falling to the bottom and cant climb back to the top. Im going to the vet to get a fecal and if there is nothing I'm going to have a blood tests done. I think he might have a respiratory infection?
