I'm sure you could guess the diagnosis was metabolic bone disease because I was not giving my iguana enough calcium. Everyone I talked to; pet store keepers, iguana owners, even a pamphlet I saw said they get enough calcium from calcium-rich foods and didn't need a suplement. Well the vet told me otherwise. The iguana is now on a strict, high-calcium diet and is given an anti-inflamitory liquid and calcium liquid that the doctor concocked.

I'm supposed to keep her immobilized as much as possible and created her a new cage to aid in her recovery. No high things to climb onto; she still thinks she can climb without falling. And I lowered the lamp since she cannot climb close to it right now.

If you have other suggestions on how to help her, I'd be very thankful.
