What the vet found and what she prescribed are important for you to know. Baytril is a commonly prescribed antibiotic because it is a broad spectrum drug, but it is hard on chams and can cause liver and kidney damage if the dosage isn't just right. Some individual chams react quite badly to Baytril if they aren't carefully hydrated during treatment (lots and lots of extra water to keep the kidneys flushed). Your cham is most likely reacting to the meds, showing extreme stress (the dark color). Keep it very hydrated, cage slightly warmer and humid, don't worry about feeding right now, and hope he gets over it.
