Which, the multivitamin I just adminstered that the vet gave me? It was like a carni-care or something that I had to mix in water into a sort of paste then squirt into his mouth.
True, but, you know I just don't feel like risking it making a different mistake and losing another one, it's definatly been a learning experience just owning this one, but I may sit out for a while.
Sorry to start a new thread but I didn't think it'd be possible to get any answers from it with myself bumping it up, not like I need many answers.

is the link describing my chameleon's problem.
Now....:( I believe he is dead...
Awesome thanks a lot for the help.
And thanks for the links rapture they helped a lot as well.
I just gotta baby him until monday, unless the vet can guide me over the phone tomorrow for a cushion to get me through the day.
No, I fed him waxworms every once in a while, I don't know an exact number, I usually left them in a bowl monitoring if they were living or not, I would put those and mealworms in the bowl on and off, and then usually dropped in crickets every other day. He seemed to be ok with large crickets...
Yeah, I definatly appreciate the help, thanks. I'll see how he is tomorrow, hopefully still alive, knowing his behavior he would venture to the bottom of the cage when he was hungry because he got accustomed to how they moved, he also crawls the sides of the cages because he knows where they...
He looks more yellow than he actually is the very bright spots, double vertical stripes are the actually yellow parts.
Grip still seems tight too, not the tightest i've felt but he was able to hang from my hand upside down, and the rear feet were tight.
Just today I've noticed him acting like this, within the past 4 hours, I'm pretty sure he slept ok last night, and I sprayed him this morning before I left and he seemed content/usual.
However, it has seemed like his diet diminished in the past 3 days, I've dumped in large crickets but he...
Yeah I was changing the paper towel every few days, and cleaning the stuff off the carpet, I may have used too much calcium but recently I toned down the amount I used would these be similar symptoms to too much calcium though?
Yeah, it's zoo med, repticalcium.
The uv bulb is in a plastic uv shell thing, facing down into the cage?
Having a tough time holding it's head up while walking, using mainly front legs rear legs seem to be working but it's not using them (so maybe they aren't?), it wants to climb up but...
Quality is harsh I was trying not to piss him off, but the bright areas are mainly green, the green he has been showing since I got him, some brown hints on his legs but that has been usual too.
I was using calcium every feeding up until about a couple weeks ago thinking I was giving too much. I also switch off with waxworms too I thought calcium would be ok through them with half dusted crickets.
That means I feed it a batch of 2 dozen crickets non dusted, then 24 dusted, on and off number changes a little bit, I usually dusted like 2 feedings a week about.
do i need a picture website to upload photos?
Grip was decent on me, seems to be maintaining holding onto the branch with just his front legs, not sure if it's as good as it was however, gimme a sec for a picture.
I think it is a flourescent tube light, not sure on the brand but it says uv 5.0 bulb from the package I ordered, and i've only had it for about 5 months so I don't think it's dimmed out yet.
Current position, hanging vertical grasping a branch with it's 2 front claws, and tail wrapped around a branch below it, with rear legs/feet hanging in the air, rear feet are rolling a slight bit and feet mildly twitch. Not much movement.
