Guy.. i think you are waisting your time, this guy ask for help in may (go reading the history of his threat)
But, just in case..
Your said your chameleon got uvb source, what kind of bulb (mark of the bulb and wattage and picture of the box if possible) and how far from your chameleon the uvb source is? Sometime this is the first cause of mbd.
Second cause : your temperature he need to digest, if he cant reach 30 degres of body temperature somewhere thing gonna get harder for him to digest.
3-Water : hand mist hey cage regulary (5 time a day 1 minute per day on all the foliage (he have foliage right?) i suggest you to add a dripper (small device who just lest water one drop at the time, chameleon usually enjoy about this.. look like rain drop and this is how they drink in nature
dont handle him till recovery and when recovery take it easy and always wash your hand before (human are carier of some bacteria non dangerous for human.. but dangerous for reptile for the lung.. respiratory infection by example)
can you show us some picture of the enclosure? its gonna be more easy to help you
thank and good luck
