Hi all, we took Just sir to the vets for her bi-annual check up, and they said she seems to have the beginning stages of MBD. We came home with Zolcal-D liquid calcium, but it doesn't say how much to give for dragons just birds?
I'm hoping maybe someone can help with dosage, as I don't want to give her too much of the stuff! She's currently around 8 months old and weighs 363g, and we got her a new UVB also.
Not quite sure how the MBD has started as she has dusted locusts each day and a UVB bulb 4" from her basking spot, so maybe a new one will help
I tried that on Wednesday after realising there wasn't suitable instructions, apparently the vet is away on holiday until the 25th,and I'm getting married that day and so won't be back until the 5th. I was hoping to get the details before then,but with a new UVB bulb and dusting etc she shouldn't get worse until then?
As an aside I was recently told by the. Reefer that her mother and sister are one of the same, so a bit of inbreeding going on if that may have affected her predisposition to MDB? (Pretty annoyed about that tbh but I still love her!)

I'm gobsmacked the vet didn't tell you or write it on the bottle's label ....

Aw thank you so much! I did t see the link first time sorry! Yeah I got Jubsie back when I thought all breeders were good and reputable, this one just wanted our money :/ but we have the beautiful Jubs so can't be too sad about it. Thank you so much for the link and help! X
