Okay, so we have been to the vet 2x now for MBD. We have the right lights, set up, everything per our vet - so I hope we can save the conversation of that element.
My question is how realistic should I be that our girl can overcome this?
Took her in 4-5 weeks ago as she was sluggish and acting off. Confirmed it was MBD with x-rays. Boosted her Calcium intake substantially. She was sliding around odd on her belly so we took her back in today. She has gained weight and IS STILL ACTIVE in her cage. She is eating and drinking and overall does not have a "glazed look" over her eyes. However, today's x-ray proved 2 BROKEN LEGS.
I am heart broken and trying to prepare myself and my family if this is a disease that never really improves? Vet seemed optimistic but then being the pessimist I am I am wondering how honest he is being that we can possible overcome this.
Anyone deal with this disease and prevailed? Any extra tips/tricks besides everything we are doing now.
She is on a medication now to help boost her calcium growth and bones. And To date has received TWO calcium shots.
