There is also a thread showing the signs of MVB here on the forum, I'll try to find it for you !

Hope this helps !

thanks ive read a lot that peoples beardies have it but wasnt sure what the signs were or what treatment can be given.

If you provide a good UVB and calcium, you will never see this.

Edit:
If the dragon is under a good uvb all his/her life, and offered the correct amount of calcium, you Should not ever see this.

The husbandry of the parents also comes into play here. If they were not properly taken care of, then that can have an effect on their offspring.

Here's a thread I put together a while ago with some symptoms of MBD showing in my rescue beardie Budo.

Thanks. I should have caught it sooner. I hope others can learn from my mistakes.

Hello,

It's ok, we all have to learn. The important thing is that you DID catch it & fixed it.
