Recently I came home and my poor little beardy (Sheila) was on the bottom of her cage and her limbs were twitching (obvious sign of calcium deficiency or early MBD I know) I went out and picked up some calcium powder with D3 since i hadn't been giving her any calcium (I had been given bad information about giving her the powder) Another issue i could be having is the UVB light, when i got her I got a small pre-packaged zilla light which i thought was working fine but it was on a mesh top and i think it was mostly blocking the UV rays so I cut a hole in the mesh top so the rays could get through better. I ordered a reptisun 10.0 but it won't be here until the 5th and i'm starting to worry because she doesn't seem to be able to move around much by herself but she is still eating and passing her poo. I did visit a Vet and he said she wasn't that bad and that i should give her some maalox (.1 ml) every other day but i was afraid to do so because it sounds strange. Any help here would be appreciated with what i can do to make sure she's okay until the 5th because i'm pretty upset that i screwed up so bad.
Also, she's in a 44 gallon i think? 4 feet long 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep.
Her basking spot is at 108ish and the ambient temps are around 94 on the warm side which she doesn't seem to leave.
