What You Need to Know about MBD

CORRECTION: @13:45 It should be "2000 IU/Kg" rather than "2000 mg/Kg". In a little more than 30 min, you'll learn more about what MBD actually is and what to do about it, than you'll learn anywhere outside of veterinary school. And you'd spend a lot more time Googling it, reading websites, or reading through other people's posts on a forum than watching this video will take. This talk is not only applicable to all reptile keepers, but those who keep birds and other exotics or wildlife, such as opossums, skunks, raccoons, etc who also commonly suffer from rickets or MBD. There is a specific way to address possible MBD, preferably starting with blood labs with chemistries to determine the levels of Ca & P, as well as PTH in the blood. PTH acts to resorb Ca. from bone and increases elimination of P in the urine, but hyperphosphatemia is often found in these cases and should be addressed with phosphate binders before giving boluses of Ca. supplementation to avoid dystrophic calcification. Phosphate binders should also be used with strict caution in emaciated animals to avoid "re-feeding syndrome", which is a hypophosphatemia condition which can cause death if P binders are overdosed and P becomes excessively depleted. Calcitonin may also be necessary to counteract the effects of elevated PTH. Care should be taken not to rush into giving Ca or D3 supplements without addressing hyperphosphatemia otherwise secondary hyper para-thyroidism can become tertiary hyper para-thyroidism.
