My Chameleon has developed some very concerning problems (sunken eyes, lump on head that is spreading to her right eye) left and right sides of lower rib cage /behing back legs is lumpy, and thick feeling 
), and since i had a recent vet epidemic that cost me around 900$$ i really cant afford it right now. I love my girl with all my hear and soul and would appreciate ANY help i can get until i round up enough money to make a down payment on care credit to take her to the vet I am posting pictures of the problem, but i am new to this site and it might take a little. THANK YOU
Chameleon Info:
My Cham - Yemen, female, 4 years old. in care since 1 year old her name is Fern
Handling - i used to handle Fern all the time and she loved it, loved coming out was bright green all the time, got a little crankier in the winter since i live in chicago and there is very little sunlight and she cant go outside obviously until spring. HOWEVER she had a prolapse after laying a clutch two months ago and also had a parasitic infection. After visiting the vet 3 times, (once for initial checkup/prolapse procedure, another after she re-prolapsed and had to get sutchers, and another after that to remove the sutchers) she HATED me/ was very stressed/depressed. now i dont handle her ever or even look at her for that matter unless i am giving her her daily bath (which she quite enjoys) since this skin problem has developed.
Feeding - I feed Fern about 5 crickets a day gut loaded with veggies and cricket food (dust one/three crickets a week). I also feed her super worms, wax worms and horn worms as special treats. Fern also enjoys feeding on her jade plant
Supplements - I use zoo med's Reptivite with D3 vitamin supplement on crickets often and have been suplementing her with an aditional calcium source of Neo Cal Glucose serum the vet gave me from when she had parasites.
Watering - Fern drinks a healthy amount out of her water dish and also out of her "little dripper" i use a hand held miter to mist her 2ce a day and have currently been bathing her for 15-30 min daily.
