An unfortunate update.
Last week, this Panther fell off of a branch.
X Ray's confirmed two fractured legs.
We chose to euthanize him.
It was the MBD that ended up taking his life.
Please make sure that your REPTILES have access to correct UVB and a high quality diet.
Thank you to everyone that read this thread.

Bummer!

So you had been treating him for about 10 months? What type of time horizon would have been needed to fully overcome the MBD, if at all?

I am so sorry to hear this. I know how hard you tried to remedy the poor start it got. Please know that I learned a great deal from your thread/postings.

Unknown.
However, I was told that he had didn't need anymore oral meds back in August, I believe.
He was officially done with vet care.
However, I still returned every few months for a follow up.
