[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 1976456, member: 101939"] No it wasn’t liquidy but rather predominantly firm hence the diagnosis of calculus and the dental proceedure to scrape as much off as possible. The vet surgeon who did the proceedure said they were able to get a good chunk off but not all of it and he was given a course of ceftazidine post proceedure. The first date in the pic of the mass is the day I noticed it when he was out basking with his mouth open. Initially I assumed it was from a cricket bite as he did attempt to store a live cricket in his beard a couple days previous which obviously didn’t go well. The following day he had a vet appointment to check the mass out ~3 months ago and was given Meloxocam and ceftazidine. Since then he’s had 3 further vet appointments to monitor the mass which resulted in a continuation of the antibiotics so as of yesterday he’s had 3 courses and I’ve been given a fourth course to continue with so he has been on antibiotics for a good amount of time now but the actual osteomyelitis was only diagnosed yesterday with X-rays and as I said originally the biopsy of the mass was done. From what I recall the type of analysis of the biopsy sample is hystriology (?). Diet wise he’s pretty good, doesn’t have anything larger than the space between his eyes, calcium every third day (alternating with 2 consecutive No D3 followed by with D3), his primary insect now is wood roaches which I dust with the supplement and he gets a variety of vegetation of which I homegrown what I can so I know it’s fresh and chemical free for him) When I first noticed the mass his appetite had decreased but with the antibiotic courses after the first course it did pick back up again and has remained ideal.
