i feed her 2 N. Cinerea bugs. I gutload them with fruits(fresh ones) and dry cat food.

I use a drip system improvised from a perfusion system.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
The fesces are fine and the urate was a little yelllow meaning she was a little dehydrated. She was tested twice for parasites and both came back negative.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
She had pnemonya but me and my teacher treated her successfully.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
She has a wood therarium with nice wide vents and plexiglass doors, wich i may add she enjoys very much.
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
I use a 40w spotlight bulb, no UVB so far(i expose her to sunlight as often as i can wich from what i researched is better than a uv bulb when authumn comes i will buy her a 10.0 UVB bulb).
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
Tempreature is not a problem now since the room temperature is 28 during the day and drops to 20 during the night maybe higher.I measure the temp using a thermometer.
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?
I currently don't have a hygomether but i will buy one as soon as i have some money. I mist twice a day so humidity is not a problem.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
So far only ficus benjamin but i will put some spidergrass and some creeper plants later on.
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
The cage is located in my room, not much trafic nor is there too much air current there. She is at the height of about 70-80 cm.
Location - Where are you geographically located?
Romania, the climate is temperate continental/
Current Problem - I consulted the doctor and i think it's a possible egg retention, she displayed robin blue dots about a month and a half ago and when i took an x-ray i saw eggs 30 from what i could count more or less. And she still hasn't layed any eggs, her grip is a bit weaker but she eats and drinks water, but she is still lethargic and doesn't keep her eyes open all the time. My doctor recomended some ocytocine 1 unit per kg. I just want to hear your thoughts on this matter, do i really need to take her to surgery ?
. She had the blue dots first time in mid june about 24 25 to be exact. Please give me an advice.
Ps sorry for the bad grammar.
