Has popeye like front legs ... only one of the 4 I have that has this ... Do y'all think its MBD - or do they carry fat there too? Have gutloaded mealies and crickets with calcium and other vits ... recently added pure calcium to cage before I noticed this. Jaw is fine - not rubbery, legs don't feel bad.

Let me know what y'all think ... if it is ... treat with injectable calcium? I think all we have at my clinic is:
Cal-Phos --
(Calcium-Phosphate-Magnesium-Dextrose)
EACH 500 mL CONTAINS
Calcium, 12.4 g (as Calcium Borogluconate, equivalent to 26.7% Calcium Gluconate); Phosphorus, 7.1 g (as Sodium Hypophosphite • H20); Magnesium, 2.8 g (as Magnesium Chloride • 6H20); Dextrose • H20, 75.0 g. Milliequivalents per liter: Cations - Calcium, 1,241 mEg/L; Sodium, 459 mEq/L; Magnesium, 456 mEq/L. Anions - Gluconate, 1,241 mEq/L; Hypophosphite, 459 mEq/L; Chloride, 456 mEq/L.

Would this work in a pinch? I can look up a dose at work.

Thanks.

I'm not an expert but the legs look fine to me. The jaw in the last picture looks a little weird but that could just be a focus issue with the camera.

I think its a camera angle issue on that one. He does just fine biting with that jaw. Nasty little booger.

A couple other people told me he looked okay too. My mind is at ease.
