Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was looking at the site you posted and was looking at the clinical photos. When I got to the one with the Jackson's Cameleon(sp?), it stated that it suffered from osteomyelitis. I have a Uromastyx Maliensis that I beleived to be suffering from gout. Mind you he had this condition when I aquired him, so I have no background information as to when he developed this condition or the circomstances around it.

I will be the first to admit that I am not a Doc.. The information that I have been able to find on osteomyelitis is in humans, mostly diabetics. Would you happen to know a source for symptoms, diagnosing and treatment for osteomyelitis?

If it is bacterial and I can get it treated, that would be grand.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry Yhetti I'm no Doc either just a lowly Vet Tech student with some info on common bacteria.

I will check around and see if I can find anything for you regarding Osteomyelitis.

Try Melissa Kaplan's site this might provide you with some insight.
