the vet suggested to give extra calcium along with the standard supplement. I'm giving the repashy rescue cal orally (using the vets solution %) and then regular calcium w/o d3 daily on her feeders.

just an update: she's getting around a lot quicker and is moving all over the cage when she's not basking. Since using the repashy rescue cal, her appetite has basically doubled (up to 10-15 small roaches/crickets a day now). And she overall seems to be doing better - her arms up front are...

i agree! the vet showed me how to pry open her mouth without hurting her, but i was still apprehensive about doing it. So i just tried to very slowly let the syringe drip in front of her mouth and she opened up and swallowed it!

the vet obviously confirmed the MBD and took x-rays to see how bad it is. So far it is only in the legs but they are pretty bad. In the x-rays you can see very little bone in the front legs and then the back legs are fairly normal with a little less bone density then normal. Because of how...

Didn't think about the eye maintenance - i'll leave that be and just use the supplements with the food. As far as getting the enclosure outside, I'll have to do that on the days i'm off as the enclosure is a tad heavy for my wife to move often. I figured birds would try and pick off chameleons...

also - can you add liquid calcium without d3 to the water you spray into the enclosure? I know calcium deposits would build up in the enclosure where the water would evaporate, but would the added calcium help out?

The set up has a single UVB buld in the back by the vines that are up high and she likes to lay under it on the fake plants. The hood has a double side screw in buld socket (only one socket is used) but its only a 20 watt max so the 60 watt heat lamp is in a metal housing sitting on top of the...

sorry for no updates recently - had a very busy week at work and felt like i was living at the hotel with as much time as i was spending there. Yoda have a vet appointment tomorrow (was the earliest appointment i could find around here). She seems to be doing a lot better now - possibly from...

I would appreciate that. I live in Houma, LA but have family in New Orleans so I travel there often.

just saw some of her fecal matter. it has gotten better but still seems a bit off. When i first got her it wasn't quite as large and seemed a bit drier. Is this also from the calcium deficiencies?

after looking online and a few phone calls I found a vet that deals with exotics! Its in Thibodaux, LA and if the case is too difficult to figure out they will refer you to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine who have Exotic Specialists. But they are closed on weekends, so i will be...

thanks for the quick replies! I'm going to be calling around tomorrow to see where the nearest exotic pet veterinary is down here in Southeast Louisiana.
