MBD in leopard gecko

[Pedro10]

Well, one of my leopard gecko has broken his back legs, probably caused by MBD. Now the treatment consist in Calcium and vitamins in oral administration.

There is some pictures of my baby, is a sunglow enigma with 2 and a half month.

One thing that cause me some wonder is the fact that the vet do not put some splints on the legs to help to calcify the fracture. What do you think about that?

And here a video.

intresting x-rays, healing bones takes alot of calcium. her other limbs dont look too bad, just increase calcium intake (reg, d3, multi). this is what ive done in the past to one of my females wity mbd

well, actually I'm giving to these baby diary liquid calcium, and each 3 days liquid vitamins, and I put some Reptivite with D3 in the insects before give to him.

Did someone have one similar situation with a baby? Please tell me about the recovery of other cases of MBD.

Best regards
