Hello
I bought male of F. pardalis Nosy Be on stock market 3 months ago. When i gave him small cricket on the 1st day, he vomited it back. He didn`t look alright. The next day he didn`t vomit it back, so i thought he could be alright. After 2,5 months he started to be seriously ill, he closed eyes and doesn`t eat anymore. After 3 days of his illness my father got from veteriarian "Panacur", it`s against parasites, so he gave him one. Next day, he completely lost his blue color, doesn`t eat nor drink. My father carefully opening his mouth and giving him small cricket, waxworms and water drops. We don`t want to lost him. He sometimes swallow it and sometimes vomit it. His stool is very washy. He doesn`t seem to recover from this illness. Pls. could someone help us?
Note: We are using fluerescent tube UV-5. The lights are on 12-14 hours a day. We also steep crickets into vitamin powder which contain also calcium. The terrarium is big. We also have other chameleons - Diego Suarez, Ambilobe, Tamatave, Ambanja and Chameleo calyptratus, all are in good condition. The female Nosy Be is also in good condition.

PS: Veteriarians in our city has almost non experiences with Chameleons, it`s not very common animal in our country.
Edit: The temparature in the terrarium during day is 28-30°C, during night is 23-24°C.
We water our chameleons that we fogg the plants in the terrarium. They lick the water drops from the plants or from the terrarium. The humidity in the terrarium is 60%. We dont`t want higher humidity because we are beware of coccidiosis.
