Iguana rescue help

So I rescued this iguana yesterday and I think he has mbd but I've never had a problem with my iguanas and mbd so I'm loading this guy up on calcium and a brand new uvb bulb, any help on what this looks like, thanks

Yes, that looks like MBD (swollen jaw is common), in addition to the boost of D3 and calcium, make sure he's getting lots of fluids, staying very hydrated. I'd take him into the vet to make sure he doesn't need antibiotics as well as infections or fractured bones may have occurred.
Good luck with the little one, I hope it goes well

Ok thank you, any way to help him get more fluids?
