Jesse,
I urge you to find a good experienced reptile vet in your area as soon as possible. Chameleons are not nearly as forgiving as many reptiles when it comes to health problems. Often when symtoms become apparent to the keepers, it is far to late to cure, and more than not, stop the problem.
The chameleon in question looks quite dehydrated. Keep looking at good caresheets and do your best to provide proper husbandry for the time being. If you can get one, I recomend getting an automatic misting system so you can regulate the water and humidity. I beleive veilds are generally a dryer species than most chameleons, but in this situation you would be best to give long misting shows a few times daily.
Remember to suppliment with Vitamin powder, Calcium, Vitamin D3 and make sure you are using a new UV bulb.
I'm sorry if I am repeating information you know, but it's all for the good of this boy there. I wish you good luck in your efforts. -----
