Heath questions

[SaintJimmy]

Monty
Has recently been having very slight eyesight issues, as well as tongue stickiness issues. I have everything on the caresheet spot on, no care has changed since last time. Temps are good, light is good, I even take him out to get some extra sun sometimes, and he definitely gets enough calcium. Still has MBD. What can I do for my boy? I do not want his eyesight to fail or his tongue to fail. He can still hunt on his own but it takes more energy since often times he'll miss by a centimeter (or only gets the bug by a corner and it jumps away).

This little boy is thirsty all the time. At first I thought maybe he was just a good drinker, but I noticed something. When he does drink, he drinks a whole lot. But he always has a little dribble on his face. His tongue works fine, his eyes are good, but his reaction times are kind of late. Very slow hunter and a lot of the times just ignores crickets until the last second. What I'm asking, is when he drinks, why does his spit get so slobbery? I could compare him to a slobbery dog. Literally a 3 inch water drop/spit drop fell down from him and hung there for around a couple seconds because he gets so spitty when he drinks. ????

Just some questions for you guys. All care is spot on the caresheets.

Monty, what are using for his multivitamin and how often? How long has he had mbd and what is your treatment? What type of UVB light and age of the bulb? What are his outward signs of mbd?

Braveheart, ones that drink excessively may be linked to organ issues generally the liver or kidneys. Not saying this is the case but you may want to have your vet do the necessary tests to rule this out. He is slobbery because of how much he is drinking. He is literally over drinking in a sense. I have only witnessed this with dehydrated wild caughts. What supplements are you using with him and how often?
