Wow, thank you so much for replying to this post! So thoughtful. :) I will definitely try the metecam, do you know where I could get it? I am already doing allopurinol, mostly daily, but sometimes I'm not able to. The weird thing is, he doesn't even eat any bugs! Does not care for them in the...

Hello and thank you! I have been treating him for gout with allopurinol after researching on my own. The vet did not think he had gout and treated him for MBD. During treatment with the vet, he lost use of his back legs and has not fully covered. He was not able to move them at all at one point...

Just wanted to share my success with anyone else going through this! I did mount my t5 inside (although I am slightly worried, as I don't think it's always 10 inches away from him) and also purchased an "all in one heat lamp" which provides additional uvb. I have been taking him outside as much...

Archie definitely started getting worse after the vitamin D shots... I think I'll stop going there. He is actually shedding right now, which he hasn't done in so long, so I guess that's good. I mounted the T5 inside and got one of those all in one mercury bulbs or whatever... Hope that isn't too...

My Archie was given x-rays and diagnosed with MBD after I noticed swollen front limbs. At the time, his temps were about 107 in his basking spot and he was eating fine. He has been given a vitamin D shot every 2 weeks and I replaced his T5 Reptisun 10.0 just to be safe. However, he has only...

Here are some updates pictures

Hi, guys! I have been taking Archie to the vet every two weeks for vitman D injections. I haven't seen much visible improvement, but the vet seems to think he looks stronger. However, I am very stressed, as he isn't eating his greens hardly at all and will only touch dubia roaches or super...

You are definitely right in needing a replacement. I looked at the date of my last uvb bulb order and it was in August. :( I did not realize that much time had passed and of course, it's still currently working. I already have one on arriving tomorrow, I just thought perhaps mounting it inside...

Hi! I just got back from the vet with Archie and while he's not 100%, he said it's likely it's the start of MBD, which I really was not thinking at all. He did an xray and pulled fluid from his joints, but found no crystals. His bones look good, except the ones in his feet look frail. Vitamin D...

Hi! Thank you for checking up on him. I got him to drink lots of water and cherry juice today, but his legs still look the same. :( I have a hooded light over the tank with a skinny reptisun (I always forget the difference between t5 and t8), but I see where some people have them mounted inside...

Correct, no blood test was done. I'm definitely not going back to him and have scheduled an appointment with another vet, but I'm in a pretty rural area and can only get in a week from now. I do use the long tube for his lighting and feed the roaches veggies or fruit. However, I order them in...

Hi! My Archie is about a year and a half old, temps are perfect with a 150 watt basking bulb, no loose substrate and proper reptisun 10.0 uvb lighting. I noticed his front limbs were swollen and he has been sleeping more than usual, so I took him to the vet. He agreed they were swollen but did...
