[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 1976395, member: 101939"] I just got some unfortunate news from my vet about my eldest rescue dragon Spike (a 4-5 year old male Central) some quick backstory: his original owners had no idea what they were doing and as a result one of the issues he was suffering from was calculus buildup on his lower jaw. Recently he seemed to have an ulcer and was on antibiotics for that (Ceftazidine). This seems to be lessening the inflammation however dental X-rays were reccomended to check for bone involvement. Results confirmed that yes there is bone involvement. I’ve been informed that all I can really do is keep up regular dental checkups and cleans and do long term antibiotic courses with the anti-inflammatory painkiller Meloxicam every 2 days. If anyone has any insight into this (for example treatment options, dealing with long term antibiotics specifically Ceftazidine given intramuscularly, outlook for the future etc) it would be greatly appreciated. At this point he’s still eating greens and insects just fine which is great. [/QUOTE]
