She goes outside a lot too I mean she is fine like she can catch like super worms and stuff I was feeding her when I picked her up it's just her foot that is the problem

That's good you can get her to the vet. I'm no vet or expert either but just the dizzy look and foot problem makes me think MBD from experience. It may very well be something else. There is no glass or plastic between her and the bulb right? At least she is eating that's always a plus.

I had a very similar experience almost a year ago. My beardie decided to see if he could fly off the couch one day when he was running around and hurt his back leg. This was back in December when he was only about 5 months old. We took him to the vet and thankfully there were no broken bones or anything, just a sore leg which stopped hurting after about a week. But I did find out he had a lack of calcium, so ever since I've been dusting his worms with calcium supplements and introducing him to new fruits and veggies (tough because he's stubborn with food). He's grown a lot and is much more active and fat! I also got a much better UVB lighting system that goes all the way across his whole tank. He now measures at nearly a foot and a half, a little over a year old! I hope your little one is okay and all he needs is a few supplements and a new light!! (P.S. the vet I went to advised me to keep any unnecessary items out of his viv to minimize the chance of furthering the injury by falling/getting stuck)

I mean when I first posted it it was like she was walking dizzy but it was just because she can't walk the only thing in between her life and her is her like the net and the in between her life and her is her Is the grate Cover thing

Hello,

How is your girl doing today?
Which UVB did you end up getting to replace the one you had previously?
Which medications is she on right now?
I hope she is feeling better. If it is metabolic bone disease then it will take a little bit of time to heal up. Just be sure you have adjusted her tank surroundings to where she can't fall easily & hurt herself.

Keep us posted on her.
