Possible MBD

They told me his eye is due to lack of calcium and not to worry about it too much unless it gets worse. Sometimes his eye will be swollen, other times I can't even tell the difference

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

The doctor gave me some liquid calcium to give him twice a day. I offended some dusted crickets earlier but he wasn't too interested. I'm going to try again in an hour or so. Just don't want to stress him out too much by handling so often but he needs to eat and needs his medicine. I am going to be moving his cage outside everyday to help give him an extra boost of UVB light even though he has a UVB bulb above his cage.

Is the calcium called emeroild calcium? Carnavoir diet? Make sure you keep it in the fridge and don't leave it open longer than you have to my vet didn't tell me that when I had to give it to my veiled with mbd and it gave her parasites was calcium shots given or anything ? Is she making you syringe feed him? Try dropping alittle on the tip of his nose be patient and see if he'll lick it off mine got to where she'd open her mouth ready for it I also syringe fed her oringal pedia light for dehydration

I'm curious. Does the calcium that the doctor prescribed contain D3?

If it's the same one I had then no but I was curious as well

Well it would be nice to know if it had his cholecalciferol in it. But thanks Hailey. I'm trying to understand treatment regimes for Chams. It would be nice to see if other vets treat MDB of chams the same way.
