Hey everyone!
We recently had a terrible incident where previous owners left their female leopard gecko outside of our store for us to walk up to the next day. She was in very bad condition and with my love for animals and experience in rehabilitation I decided to adopt her.
She has already been to a vet; both front arms are broken, back leg is fractured, possible rib fracture, she is going to lose a toe from stuck shed and she has no bones (they are so rubberized they couldn't even be detected on an X-ray). She is extremely malnourished, almost all skin and bone, her calcium deficiency is so horrid that she is deformed.
She is now on five medications. One is vitamins, one is liquid calcium, two are pain relievers and the last is an anti inflammatory.
Due to her poor condition I wanted to get a uvb for her to speed her recovery but there is such a huge controversy on this that it is almost impossible to find the information I am looking for. I know they say uvb is not necessarily needed for them which is why I typed her whole story so you could see that she may be a different story.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
