What Are the Treatments for Metabolic Bone Disease?
Metabolic bone disease, or MBD, is a term that is used to describe a variety of conditions in reptiles that involve the deterioration of their bones. The most commonly affected reptile is the iguana, but many other types get MBD as well. Without prompt treatment, your pet could become deformed and may possibly experience seizures and death. There is no way to reverse damages or deformations caused by metabolic bone disease, but there is treatment to prevent the condition from becoming worse.
