Is this what's wrong with your ig? Your vet needs to be alot more aggressive with the a/bs if this is the diagnosis. You should try & find an ig "herp" vet...ultrasounds, X-rays, if it is osteomyelitis....need to open him up and debride the infection BEFORE the course of anti/bs...Watch for kidneys to start acting up (lab values out of kilter)back to normal after debridement...This is just a guess tho.I just don't know...thinking also some type of gout or "tophi"...but that's stretching it. Especially since labs are ok now. Do you need a referral to ARAV reptile vets? Much luck and good vibes to you!
