Possible MBD?

[Leahryan]

I had my 5 month old cham outside today and I noticed he was on a vine close the the ground of his cage that he rarely ever goes on and I thought that his back right leg looked a little funny and that he possibly fell to the bottom of his cage. Throughout the day I noticed that his back right leg almost looks like its bent above his knee. He has been stretching it out and grabbing his front right elbow by accident it almost seems. Could this be MBD?? I can't get to the vet until Sunday.

ya, looks like u caught a little sign of it, just keep up the supplementation of vitamins and make sure u have the uva/uvb on a 12/12 schedule and it should be ok, if not then correspond with ur vet. cute little guy!!

I don't see what you mean about "bent above his knee" in the photos. Falling inside the typical cage shouldn't cause a major injury. Many chams grab a leg by accident once in a while.

Please describe your caging, lighting (brand, age of bulbs, type, etc), your gutloading, your supplements and how often you use them. BE SPECIFIC! Only with this kind of information can we even guess whether he has MBD.

it looks bent below the knee, but filling out the info sheet would be a help

looks to me like he was using the bathroom. my guy goes to his lowest stick and raises his leg just the same.
