Vet confusion, worried.

Yeah thats kindda what im eluding to. He's giving him treatment just because. That would be like your doctor treating in case you might get cancer. I doubt i would give him the meds till i got a 2nd opinion.

Antibiotics can really put their system outta balance and cause digestive issues.

The vet didn’t give me anything for his MBD as clarified earlier. His reasoning for prescribing the antibiotic seems to be for prevention of other sicknesses/stress as Tubby was never officially diagnosed with any infection of some sort as mentioned earlier.

In order to know if there was a "true" infection going on blood works should of been done - that would of detected it --- also calcium levels as well

Hello,

How is your dragon doing?
I agree, did the vet not do a blood test though, to at least determine some type of infection?
The Ceftz is hard on the body when given long term & if there isn't any infection at all, he may
not even need it.
He should be on a liquid calcium for metabolic bone disease, to see improvement. What kind of
calcium are you giving him?
