My chameleon has suspected MBD. How can I treat it without a vet?

Question

I have 2 chameleons I suspect have MBD. I've been giving them liquid calcium for 3 days now and they seem to be acting better but still can't climb and won't eat. I've been making sure they stay hydrated by giving them water through a dropper. There are no exotic vets in my area that I'm aware of. Any suggestions? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | 6 months and 14 days old

If MBD is suspected you have to make sure all the lights are adequate as this can play a very important role in the calcium metabolism. it's recommended to start the treatment with a Calcium injection, try to check with some regular vets in your area of living, they all have injectable calcium in their clinic, hopefully they will be willing to treat them.
