So I just picked up this poor little girl at a pet shop near my house, they had said they had a gecko with a hurt foot and had been hand feeding it and as soon as I saw it I knew it was MBD. I was explaining what it was to the manager and telling her what I know about it and she didn't really have any idea about it or how to treat it, so I offered to foster it because I have an extra set up, and it wasn't getting proper care there. Didn't even have a heat pad, poor girl 
so I just set her up, I have a heat pad, small water dish because I don't want her drowning in a big one, and a hide on the cool side, and a small calcium dish with D3, which I will change to without D3 in a day or two. Also just have a 25 watt bulb to make sure it stays warm for her. She's been on the heating pad the whole time since I put her in, she's really quite cute actually.
The MBD is really affecting her in two of her legs, but I can tell its spreading to all of them. And she has a regenerated tail.
Any tips? Anything I'm doing wrong? I know her legs won't straighten, and I know there's a chance I can't save her, but I know there's a chance she can regain some strength and make it.
