i think my bearded dragon may have mbd (will get her to the vets as soon as i can). but she doesnt use her back legs which ive read is one of the signs of mbd, ive also noticed recently she keeps bending her front feet and she is like lying on her wrists. those are the only signs ive noticed.

what will the vet do and will she be able to use her back legs again. they appear to be floppy, although one is more floppy than the other

You need to get liquid Calcium in her. You can find this at any chain petstore or checkout beardeddragon.coand order some there. Cheryl is the owner of that site and is really awesome you could email her for advice too. Order some repti-worms, and butter worms, they have higher amount of CA than other buggies out there.
How old in your UVB lighting and what brand are you using?
UVB is very important to a dragons health. When a dragon develops MBD it has a lot to do with the lack of UVB lighting.
