mbd cave gecko update thread

[amanda509]

some of you may know that this past sunday i was given a cave gecko when i went to pick up my boas. the little guy has mbd pretty bad, and what looks like a broken and horribly wrong healed arm..so heres some pics of his progress after given liquid calcium everynight for 4 days.

id love to get some x-rays of this guy for educational purposes...does anyone know a clever way to get some without spending a fortune or having to go through the whole vet check procedure and end up with a huge bill? id be willing to pay, but im not sure if any of the vets around will do it without a checkup and bunch of other stuff....which i dont necessarily want.

What a cute little gecko. Glad that he's improving for you. Not sure how to get x-ray without a vet check up.

Do you have a veterinary college reasonably close to you? They may be more willing than a "normal" vet.

I have a cockatoo with P.D.D. , I was lucky enough to find a vet and develop a relationship where she does little extras that benefit him, for the purpose of learning more about the disease. Things that at the time I didn't gave the budget to do.

Vets do have to run a business, but I've found that most do what they do for the love of animals, and go further for those who feel the same. As long as you are not asking for an rX, X-rays without a checkup shouldn't be an issue.

That's most likely because it's not a chameleon but Goniurosaurus hainanensis, a gecko.


And what a great improvement it has already made, hopefully you will find someone that's willing to do an x-ray scan.

Good luck.
