Thank you guys for the comments and information. I really started to look into my dusting and gut loading. So the last couple of days I tried to hand feed him to see his behaviour, he was missing the target and had floppy tounge like Lathis described. This was 3 days ago, now today he was able...
Thank you Sandra for your reply!

It got much colder last month and my chameleon yoshi started to eat less and eventually stopped eating. Last year the same happened but he would start eating again, this time he didn't.
I bought an extra heat light to boost up the temperature and see if that helped. Then I noticed he has...
I didnt really handle him before only when I had to clean his cage but since I had to clean his foot every day he lets me pick him up all the time and like you said its a good way to check on him.
It's a good idea to have a first aid kit and I definitely agree with treating every cut as an emergency. I learned from this, thank you for the information.
A quick update on yoshi, we just went to the vet and he told us that he is doing great and he removed the scab of the food to see if there is any infection. Its not infected and we have to stop the antibiotics and carry on cleaning his foot.
We have a vet visit again next week and he is doing...
Thank you for the information, yes I have super worms and I inject the meds into the worm before I feed it to him.
I will keep him hydrated and hopefully it will heal quickly :)
So I went to the vet this morning and he had a look at it.
At first it looked like he didnt know much about chameleons but he spotted straight away what was causing the infection.
Basically it got irritated by a branch of a pohtos plant in his cage. I thought I was doing the right thing by...
I'm sorry for the loss of your chameleon, it is good you told me his story and by sharing this hopefully more chameleons will be saved.
It made me also realize that I shouldnt wait any longer just in case it is worse than it looks like.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow morning.
I will post an update tomorrow on how it went and again thank you for your insight.
I attached another picture of his foot which I took just now.
Yeah we worry so much about them because we do really care! :p
I hope some experienced member can have a look at it and if I have to post more details let me know.
First of all I want to say how grateful I am for this forum because I get most of the information from this forum and it helped me out so many times.
My chameleon is named yoshi and he is about 1 year old. We have had him since 5 months now and he is doing great. I made sure the tempratures...
