Hello,

Dro has been just in his basking spot sleeping, his back legs are swolen and sometimes he shakes i don't know whats wrong..

A few weeks ago he was bitten by my cat, since then the area around his puncture is healed and he was acting normal, and i read that he may be going into a shedding but i want to make sure nothing else is going on...pictures a

Where did the cat bite him? Did you put some raw unfiltered honey on the wound- lethargic and shaking sounds like mbd- what kind of uvb are you using? Coil?

See that’s what I was worried about. This is the uvb I’m using but I think it’s too far away. Worried I’m seeing starting symptoms of mbd
Enclosure is a 46x18widex18high
Yes honey and also vetricyn, an anti microbial and it cleans wounds and prevents infection

Hello,

I am very happy to see that the puncture wound healed. If he has made it this long, after a
cat bite then it likely didn't cause any lung puncture damage. It doesn't appear that there is
any infection but cat bites can cause a myriad of issues.
However, it looks like he is going into a shed, in a number of areas.
The feet & ankles appear a bit swollen but that is somewhat common prior to sheds. Please
keep a close eye on the swelling to be sure that it doesn't get any worse. I don't want to see
gout develop for whatever reason.
Is he eating & basking normally?

Please post a pic of your screen-- screens block 30% of the rays so if it's a fine mesh it will need to go inside- distance and placement is determined by the screen

Hello,

Yes, do post a few more pictures of your tank setup, lighting, etc for us.
How is he doing today, any changes?
