Not using back leg :(

[Jamielee]

My panther chameleon isn't using one of his back legs. Do you think it's a result of over supplementing? If so, is there anything I can do?? I've tried doing some research on here and online but I can't really find the answer I'm looking for.. Help!!

my guess would be injury but dont look swelled can you touch it does he pull away how long has he been like this and also what is your supplement schedule?

I would recommend a good chameleon vet. Do you already have one? If not you might can find one in the thread linked below where the members here have listed their chameleon vets. It could be an injury, bone spurs or gout.

When was the last time you are sure he pooped?

Could be an impaction pinching a nerve which is preventing him from moving his leg. Get him to a vet ASAP. Have you fed him any big hard body food items in the past 1.5 months?

What happens if you take him out? Does he not use the leg even if he's climbing around on your hands?

Please fill out the how to ask for help form.

Your chameleon looks very skinny. Looks like some things need to change.
