Is there any way I can get her eggs out and help her with mbd by my own because I am a begginers chameleon that's 14 yrs old and I don't have that type of money I bought my vield chameleon from petsmart and I guess she had mbd at first. If I guess I can help her get her eggs out and healthy she can get spayed/neutered. Any help or am I just give her the shot or let her die naturally?
Vet want's me to pay $860 for MBD shots and ovariosalpingectomy please help ASAP she's dying slowly.

We don't know how bad off she is right now. If she's critical, shots for MBD won't help her pass her clutch. You don't really have options other than the surgery or putting her down. Chances are she won't be able to pass her eggs naturally. As we don't know just how bad her MBD is, trying to help her pass the eggs using oxytocin injections might be torture and ineffective.
Would the vet accept a payment plan?
I don't know it's just hard I have school 7:30 to 2:30 and play practice 2:30 to 6:00 and work day that are off from play 2:30-6:00 I just need help knowing should I save that money up and get it done she will have a hard life after it or should I let her go naturally or give her the shot
I have posted photos of what they need to do the Vet said if I tell them to operate they will need her to have the shots.

I think she mint we don't know how bad off she is because we haven't seen her. The only advice I could give you is to get a second opinion to make sure she needs the surgery to remove the eggs, or if there is way to induce her labor with oxytocin. If not I'm afraid your only option is to go through with the surgery, or euthanize her so she's not suffering. Whatever you do you need to make your mind up quick she is only going to deteriorate.

#1 issue with chameleons - They don't give you time to save up or find other solutions. Rarely if ever.
You haven't posted any pictures of your animal, thats the type of stuff ppl here need to see to help. Right now you're just asking for moral support.
I suggest this www.chamlist.org
It's a rescue for chams.

It looks to me the best option is to put her out of her misery.

So sorry to see that. I would switch to a better vet after this, mine wouldn't charge anywhere near that.

Oh yeah and if everyone was prepped for an 800$ cham surgery few people would have a Cham.

Few people would have kids if you applied it to humans.
None the less I am sorry for you but I agree that surgery may just prolong her pain and misery.
