MBD Update on Baboo

[JonnyB22]

Our little girl was diagnosed with MBD a little over a month ago. We have been giving her a calcium medicine for it. Well our little girl has been showing so much improvement, thanks to Ferretinmyshoes! she was stuck on the ground without being able to move. Now she can move around the bottom of her cage and is trying to stand up! I have a few questions for the people who have had chams with MBD. The first one is, we had a suggestion to fill up a bowl about a half an inch with warm water and let her soak in it for about ten minutes. Is that a good idea and will it help? And secondly how long does it take a cham to be able to walk again? It seems like it should be a little faster. I'm a little worried she isn't making the progression she could be.

Thank you for the update on your little girl. If I remember correctly, she was in really bad shape. It will be a very slow process....chameleons heal slow. It sounds like she is making some progress. I wouldn't push her. You want to make sure the bones have completely healed before she starts to move around much. She will probably never move around like a normal Cham though.
