Yes I recently noticed it but it could be because he lost some weight when I put him on a diet. The vet examined him today and said he looked perfectly healthy. Could it be an edema? I don’t use bee pollen in his dusting or anything like that.
No, you can overdose with certain multivitamins so this is not something i would recommend. What are you using for a multivitamin? D3 on its own is not a multivitamin so he is correct there. Where are your temps now at basking and what is the doc suggesting bumping it up to.
Keep an eye on it and on his behavior. You can see edema when something in the body is off. Make sure you are not seeing any other signs of an RI as well. The start of an RI is not going to be as obvious as a progressed RI.
Do you mean edema can be a symptom of a greater problem? I felt it and it just feels like excess skin. There’s no lump or anything. Almost like he lost weight and there’s skin left over. Should I mix the vitamins and D3 together so he can have both at once or administer them separately. The vet recommended reptivite vitamins. Do you agree? My basking temp is around 80 and he wants it up to 85. He told me to switch out my 65 watt bulb for a 75 watt bulb.
Tell me what supplements exactly you are using and what is your rotation. Take pics of the labels if that is easier. I do not recommend mixing supplements together. There is a specific ratio you want them to get and by mixing your own you could be providing too much of one over the other.
