<FlashCard questions="4">
|q1=What is your interpretation of the radiographs of this mature iguana?
|a1=
Multifocal metabolic bone disease involving the long bones of all four limbs, and the presence of radiopaque foreign bodies throughout the alimentary tract.
|l1=
|q2=How would you treat this iguana?
|a2=
This iguana may have been ingesting calcareous material in an effort to obtain the necessary calcium that its diet lacked.
Give vitamin D3 (4iu/kg orally twice weekly), or expose the iguana to unfiltered sunlight or full-spectrum ultraviolet light so that it can synthesise its own vitamin D3.
The diet should be changed to one containing a high level of calcium, a relatively low level of phosphorus and high-quality nutritive fibre.
Milk of magnesia, petroleum jelly, or a similar laxative agent, should be given orally to help excretion of the gastrointestinal foreign bodies.
|l2=
