Chytrid/Lamisil Treatment

[demeteraurion]

Well Rupert's treatment is complete and he's finally back in his tank with some ecoearth
He's eating with my help but I still find him flipped over laying on his back. I'm beginning to think he's just clumsy and can't move well. His back legs seem a little weird too, but I don't suspect redleg. At this point I'm stumped :/ He also doesn't burrow, he just hops around his tank, flips over and I have to flip him over.

Hmm, just did a little research and Rupert may have MBD. I do have a Calcium/Vitamin powder but he has been eating so little that I haven't got to use it much. It's also hard to use on the nightcrawlers because they are so moist and they die very quickly after I get them ready. Any advice?

I was just reading about MBD the other day. One of the things they can do is calcium injections at the vet. If you suspect that, I would get him to the vet to get looked at...sounds like there might be a few things going on here.

Little update on Rupert, I fed him an almost whole worm yesterday and he seemed to fatten up immediately. I also used an eye dropper to ensure some calcium/vitamins got into his belly. Since he has ate he has flipped over very few times. I'm starting to think he was flipping because he was so thin! When he would try to hop, he would be too light. Now that he's plumper he is moving around better, strange! I also just got my dubia roaches today, he tried to eat one but gave up after a few tries. Looks like he will be okay though
