I am so worried for my baby 
...
He Is till drinking A LOT (thank god)
But he won't eat! He won't eat out of my hand any more but whe a cricket comes near him, he tries to get it a few times and if he doesn't get it, he gives up and won't eat it. If he does get it, it just hops out if his mouth. He has eaten a few crickets though, just a few.
You don't know how many pet hospitals I've called. None will take me! They all have a reptile doctor and he is always full! I tell them how important this is and they will not open up a spot for me, or he cancels at the last minute! Lemme just say, I'm furious.
Also, his eyes have been getting swollen or something and will have a big purple bump on the side of his eye. They usually go down in a few minutes.
He falls asleep in my lap and I always cry because I don't want him in pain...
Is it possible to tell whether or not he is close to death?

Chameleon- veiled, male, age unknown, been in my care for about 4 months
Handling- about 30 minutes/ an hour a day total
Feeding- 15 or 10 small gut loaded crickets a day, 10 small meal worms a day, have special cricket food and water gel, calcium/vitamin supplement
Watering- mist cage about 5 times a day, couple of sprits (on the walls and leaves), syringe filled with filtered water given to him in drops almost every hour. I do see him drink out of the syringe in my hand each day.
Fecal description- brown in his cage, mint green when I pick him up, a few blue dots, orange spots, not been tested for parasites
History- he has been eating and drinking well, I've noticed that he has been like this for a while, I've been observing him and he is eating and climbing well.

Cage- glass cage with screen roof and insulated door
Lighting- do not know the type, UVB light during the day, red night heat lamp and a small towel over half of the cage for the night time
Temperature- day time is usually around 80F, do not know night time, I have a thermometer inside the cage at the bottom
Humidity- kept around 75, spraying the cage with clean water, i have a hydrometer kept at the bottom of the cage.
Placement- on the sink of my bathroom. Bathroom is attached to my room and blocked off with a door.
Location- I am usually in my room with the bathroom door open where I can see my Cham.
Current problem- MBD
