He had been misdiagnosed twice and has been treated 3 different times with antibiotics. I finally found a great vet and he put banjo on baytril for 2 weeks straight... now a couple months later here we are again..
also want to add that his last vet visit was actually a month and a half ago...
Hey guys. So banjo has been off antibiotics for almost 2 months now. The vet said his mouth looked back to normal. But that was a couple weeks ago. I don’t know if I am too paranoid, or does his lip look swollen to you in the corner?
Also, there’s a little pink spot on his mouth in a pic I took...
Does he open his mouth and breathe for long moments at a time? Or puff up under his chin and make a popping noise? I’m wondering if the vet gave him antibiotics to treat a respiratory infection.
im only asking because in the pictures it kind of looks like it. Unless he was just mad at you
it...
I’m pretty sure gout effects the limbs in a way that they can’t grip onto things because it is too painful. They would still be able to climb
With MBD you will see the bowing of arms and legs and deformations in the
casque
The fact that you’ve only given him calcium with d3 and don’t have a...
I’ve never had to force feed before so I’m not the person to ask, but MBD can be stabilized I guess you could say. His limbs are very bowed but if his grip is still there I’m sure he will have a chance. You just need to do research

With MBD I’m assuming a vet will give him calcium shots. Probably a few in his case, but not all at once. And on top of that you will need to stay on top of his supplement schedule. And make sure he has correct uvb lighting. Supplementing and uvb go hand and hand.
He needs calcium and uvb the most at this point. I’m not as experienced with chameleon meds so unfortunately I have no clue, I know medicine can be hard on their body though.
You’re welcome! Just make sure if you go with the reptisun 5.0 change the bulb every 6 months. And with the Arcadia 6% change once a year. They also have an Arcadia light fixture for their bulb, but the regular t5 fixture will do just as well.
try Pangea.com for the lights. You’re going to have to get the fixture and uvb separate. They have both reptisun t5 ho 5.0 and they also have the Arcadia 6%. Either will Work. I’ll attach links

if you wouldn’t mind filling this out so we can get a better idea...
You can contact your local landscaping company and see if they have any non sap branches. Most of the time they will just give them to you. Make sure to wash them before putting them in the enclosure. Usually I wash mine with non toxic soap (make sure you get all the soap off) and let them sit...
Yes! Back right will look good! I am planning on re-doing banjos cage as well. I’m just waiting for it to warm up so he can hangout outside while I do it lol
I almost bought the same plant with the red and green! (I’m bad with plant names) lol. You make me want to go back and get it!
please...
