tail loss

[jaymotzrt]

i dont know what happened last night but i woke up and my one leopard gecko debbie had lost her tail. And i noticed that she was limping really bad it was a really bad broken leg. I think he or she was fighting with the other leopard gecko. So i immedietly took her out and have her i a large cricket cage she is really small for her age but i feed her every other day. and i have 1 hide, bottle caps with watter in the one and calclium in the other. and a small food bowl with mealworms beucase she cant catch crickets because of he leg. So i would be very gratefull if someone could give me tips .

Here are some pictures

i dont know if you can see it but his, her leg is really really bad.

I do see what you're talking about. That curve in the leg is classic signs of MBD.

You need to provide this gecko with tons of calcium and also use an additional supplement of calcium glubionate, which you can obtain at the vet. He/she also needs radiographs, to see the extent of the MBD, also to classifly what type of MBD it is...

This gecko should probabbly never be bred.

As far as the tail loss, I don't know, anything really could have happened. Just keep that area clean and the tail will regrow by itself. You can use some neosporin, but it's really not necessary.

The MBD (most likely, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism) which is a result of insufficient calcium intake should be your first priority though. Until you can get to a vet, make sure the insects you are feeding are properly gut-loaded and dusted with calcium.

Rep-Cal calcium fine powder (pink label) can be mixed with water into a paste to provide additional calcium to reptiles...it's one of the things you can use as a supplement until something else can be prescribed.
