FYI- I just found an article that says plumb tree bark has cyanide in it and can leach into lizards skin. IDK that that is what is going on, but I removed all the branches and will take him into the vet.
Sickly maybe

He was definitely sick. I ended up taking him to the vet, and he is being treated. He seems to be getting better and has finally entered a full shed. Thanks for all your input. I implemented the changes recommended by this group and confirmed by the vet. He is happier.

Well I came in this morning and he was dead. Tank met husbandry standards and we did everything the vet said to do. I think there may have been more wrong then what we originally thought.

So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss.
In another thread you said…”My Panther had a similar issue. Vet said early MBD. Panther passed shortly after. We had done everything the vet said and had our cage in alignment with standards but he just wouldn't swallow.”…how did the vet determine it was MBD and what treatment did he give the chameleon for the MBD?

He checked his bones and thought they felt soft. For treatment he had us give liquid calcium. He perked up when we did this but within a week stopped eating everything. Vet had us giving him food with a syringe but it didn't help.
