Urgent: My chameleon may have ingested disinfectant and is dehydrated

My panther chameleon may have accidentally ingested residue from a disinfectant containing benzalkonium chloride (used on leaves in the enclosure). Symptoms started yesterday and include: • Refusing to eat or drink • dark, dull coloration initially (slightly better today) • Very lethargic and unresponsive • Has only pooped once since the incident • Signs of dehydration (sunken eyes, dry mouth, low activity)

I cannot get in to see a vet immediately — most exotic/reptile vets are closed at night. I have tried offering water, but he refuses to drink. The environment is warm and humid, and I’ve removed any contaminated leaves.

Questions: 1. Can I do anything at home to stabilize him until I can reach an emergency exotic vet? 2. How critical is it to get him treated tonight versus waiting until morning? 3. Any tips for safe temporary hydration for a panther chameleon that won’t drink?

I’m extremely worried — he’s small, fragile, and this may be life-threatening. Any guidance or recommendations for 24-hour exotic/reptile vets in San Diego, CA would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for any advice.
