Should I get vit a shot at the vet?

Sounds like you need a vet. A lot of eye issues also start right after they shed and some shed gets in their eyes. Might need to have they eye flushed well and then followed with eye drops. Most tongue issues are due to malnutrition or a tongue injury.
@Matt Vanilla Gorilla is the GOAT of Panthers. 
His advice is solid.

Going to vet Monday. Eye issue has been ongoing, the tongue issue just popped up. Seeking advice on husbandry, supplements and what to ask vet.

Should add I use bee pollen to coat with calcium. Is there a gutload you suggest?
So Earthpro A does have Bee pollen. I would follow the recommended schedule from arcadia though. It is a bit more work since you actually have to put it down on a calendar to keep track of but that is how they recommend it be given. The Earthpro A is done on almost all of your feeds so he should be ingesting plenty of bee pollen.

Bee pollen is amazing! In fact Matt introduced this to me when I first got my Veiled. The Panther I have is from him as well. I use it to gutload and coat feeders occasionally. I use Repashy Bug Burger and Repashy Superload occasionally but mainly fresh veggies off this list below.

My gutload should be good, I use all the top veggies and bee pollen along with the bug burger. Cant understand what I am doing so wrong that my cham is not thriving.

Where did you purchase your chameleon? Do you know how many generations he is away from having been wild caught?

Kammerflage. They told me to use the repashy every feeding...and failed to tell me to get the Low d.

I believe its many generations line bred unfortunately

Sorry, just double checked. Replaced it early February with the Arcadia. Last zoomed was November 18
Ok so your just running the 6% Arcadia now with the 3 6500 daught bulbs right? Or are you using the zoomed as well?

Correct, no zoomed. I was using zm when I first had had eye issue last year. Switched to Arcadia.

Sorry, line breeding (inbreeding) has many drawbacks! Frequent tongue and eye problems being just a few of them!

My first cham. I went by all the good reviews and thought they were best source for a healthy cham. I had no idea and followed all the research to my best. This was not a whim purchase and I'm sooo frustrated after how much time and research I've done and my cham is still not well. Is there anything I can do? What would you have your vet do? Thanks!

A lot of breeders insist that there are no problems with line breeding. The best you can do is give your chameleons the best care you can! Never stop learning and reading and asking questions, and take your chameleon to a good vet when they are in need! That is the best we all can do!
