Hi, my husband and I own a reptile shop and we had a bearded dragon surrendered yesterday that we suspect is suffering from MBD. Joints are puffy, she is lethargic, and has very little use of her back legs. At first we suspected a possible spinal injury but there are no signs of trauma. We didn't know the condition she was in at the time she was dropped off, otherwise we would have asked about her history. She was handed to us in a container and the lady said, "My kid got this 'thing' 6 months ago and refuses to take care of it so can you take it?". And then she left. We are listed as a reptile rescue also, so we get a lot of surrenders. We attempt to rehabilitate and re-home whenever possible (we don't ever sell them, we find good stable homes for them where we know they won't be mistreated or bred) This girl is in bad shape. I have rescuecal+ but I've never had to use it before and the dosing instructions are non-existent. I mixed it in the ratio instructed on the label, but I don't know what to do from here. (And that ratio seems very strong, 300g to 1liter, which scares me) How much do I administer and how often? (I have a T5 HO bulb on her right now). Thanks!!!!
