Hi all i have a female leo that i am having some issues with. To start off i have had her for a year now and she has always been a picky eater but as of latley she has not wanted to eat at all and has dropped alot of weight took her to the vet and put her on a 5 day tratment of panacur in case of parasites. but about 2 weeks ago i noticed her wrist / foot was a bit swollen i know it is not left over shed because i check my leo's over after they shed to makes sure there is none on feet or toes a few days after i noticed the swollen foot/ wrist i noticed that she had lumps on her elbows and joints i was thinking gout but im not sure i just want to get her better my tank set up is 20 gallon tank under tank heater with paper towel. warm side 89 degrees cool side 75 degrees i keep calcium without D3 in tank at all times any help would be great thanks. i also have 3 hides humid hide a hide on warm side and one on cool side.

it sounds like a vit problem to me not sure. you should always use vitamins and calcium WITH the D3 as without it the minerals ect dont get taken into the body, it just passes right out.

The first thing that pops into my head is MBD.Can you post a pic.Have been keeping her on a vitamin schedule?? Calcium with D3,vitamins? It really sounds like MBD
