hey everyone hows it going? I have 2 jackson chameleons each about 7 moths old. Up until recently they both have been showing signs of a healthy chameleon. About 3 weeks ago we noticed one of ours (Heizenberg) wasn't behaving normally. we wasn't eating or moving properly (not utilizing his front legs) we took him to an exotic vet and they gave him a shot of calcium witched made him move like frankenstien and seem to be fine if only for a moment. he said that he might have a parasite, and then gave us a cream to rum on his belly once a week. He also gave us dog food and told us to serve him a tiny bit warmed up mixed with the reptile multi vitamin powder as well as the calcium powder. we did this and it only seemed to make him worse. Until recently he is now opening his eye and mouth so we are able to give water.
however...
My problem lies in our other chameleon, Gustavo. This morning when i woke to turn on their lights I found him on the ground (similar to the case of our other chameleon) I placed him back on his branch to bask and he soon enough fell off. i placed him on a lower, and the same thing again. When holding him and watching him in the cage it appears he can only walk in circles/spirals (to the right) I am very worried because he seemed much healthier than the other guy and i do not want to lose both of them. if any of you out there know what may be wrong with either of them or have advice as to what to do that would be amazing! anything helps thank you!
