While I understand that it is ENTIRELY TOO EARLY to have any results from the Calcium treatments. And I'm not saying that it was that that has given him new energy.....
I'm thrilled to see that he poops just fine. Every day. He drinks and eats like a horse, too.
Today he RAN to his feeding bowl...
Interesting
The spot in my yard that I'm letting my MBD afflicted Chameleon hang out in just tested at 2.9 on my UV meter!
That and the fact that it's 79 degrees outside are just perfect.
I've never tested outdoors uvb before.
It's an invaluable tool.
She didn't give the injection because the blood calcium and phosphorus levels were in the normal range already.
We don't know if the Chameleon is already recovering or still declining since there is no baseline.
And the dosage of 0.01 was based on current weight.
I'll be weighing once a week for now
I just came across this post. And I took my 5 month old VOHEMAR Panther Chameleon to my vet this morning for the very same reason.
It was $270 for bloodwork for calcium and phosphorus levels, an x ray and the calcium drops I was sent home with.
No injection was given.
I'm only going back...In...
Yep
Y'all are correct.
MBD and pretty bad.
No bone breaks, but he has curved long bones and other bones are so soft that they don't even show up on an Xray.
He's on liquid calcium every day for a month.
His blood Calcium and phosphorus are currently within the normal range.
Dr. Pardini decided...
I've been feeding crickets, superworms and hornworms to my Veileds and now Panther Chameleons.
Problem is that I must keep them inside my house. Because I live in south Florida and in the summer months it can get into the 90s in my garage.
I'd like to branch out into keeping DISCOID roaches.
But...
As you are probably aware, south Florida is full of roaches.
Giant, flying roaches!
However, getting Dubia feeder roaches is now illegal. Because they pose an escape risk and might become another invasive species...Like Chameleons.
Is anyone aware of a feeder roach that is both not very "roach...
