So my karma has a check at the vet for suspected mbd. What should I expect at the vet? Is it safe to get blood work done on a 6 month old?

Hi. What I do is write or print out all of my husbandry in as much detail as possible for the vet, going by the same questions that we use in the help form - see below. A not so great chameleon vet will hold your cham up, turn it around and just look at it and that’s it. A good vet will look, palpate, listen to heart and lungs and be interested in your husbandry and ask questions. I’m not sure about the bloodwork, but getting an x ray (radiograph) is important when mbd is suspected. It not only will show if there are any abnormal bends or breaks in the bones, but can also show bone density. Be prepared with any questions you may have too...write them down. If you can collect a fresh fecal to check for parasites, that is a plus for general health.So my karma has a check at the vet for suspected mbd. What should I expect at the vet?

I’ve had to do several visits this way. I make sure to let them know in advance whatever tests I consent to in advance to save time and phone calls.I have all info written for vet. Supplements and lighting etc... its just hard bc of the whole covid thing. (They take pet inside and I have to wait in parking lot while they do their check. Then they converse over the phone about findings )
