Information:
I have a few questions and I was wondering if some of you all could help me out. I have a 4 month old beardie that weighs .4 oz and 7 inches long. I have taken her to the vet three times now. I have also taken her to two separate veterinarians. The most recent vet told me that she has MBD, and they gave me 5 calcium injections to directly give her. The vet also gave me calcium to inject directly into her food everyday for the next couple months. I am on day 4 of the calcium injections and I do not believe that it is helping. She is just laying around hardly moving and barley eating. Her feet are very swollen and she cannot really use her two front legs. Before she developed this disease, she was very active always running around and always hungry. She use to eat 40 to 60 phoenix worms a day. She is in a 50 gallon tank that has a hot side and a cold side. I use a mercury vapor bulb, her basking spot is at 100 degrees and cold side is at 80 degrees.
Questions:
The past two shots I have given her, a little bit of the calcium oozed out of her arm and I just want to know if I am doing it right?
How long will it take for me to see a change in her and will she ever be back to normal?
What can I do to make sure to help my girl out as much as possible?
