oh okay.
i really dont know what this vet i had was thinking.. It seems like just making her poop a tiny bit helped more in 10 minutes then 4 days of antibiotics have done.

i have to read the thread lol ive seen bits and pieces ill have a better look in a few minutes ill edit this answer after
edit:
id say mbd is the main issue repti glo sometimes gets a bad rap the wavelength is the problem with those bulbs if kept high up it can be accomplished but its really a pain to do and sometimes a waste of time she should have calcium everyday still with d3
as for antibiotics i dont get why he gave her those that normally hurts a animal not in need of them yes getting her to poop was great it will help alot she sounds like shes getting back into shape
did you end up getting the reptisun 10.0 strip light? that could be the reason for her shed proper uvb seems like shes back on the right path
How are things with your girl now?
I hope she is doing much better now. It sounds like she is starting to get some strength back now. It takes time, but it seems like she is improving.
Is she eating much right now? If she is shedding, that is a great sign, too.
Keep us posted on her.

I haven't got the strip light yet. I ordered it online though, because all the pet stores in my area only sell repti glo -.-
But today out of no where she walked right off of my friends lap and was walking around my bed. She was using her back legs (not normally completely) but they weren't dangling and dragging behind her so i'm glad with any improvement even a little! Shes kind of off balance and not completely stable with walking but thats okay! She hasn't shown much interest in food sadly, but we're having to give her gatorade to boost her blood sugar which she loves.
Today we tried giving her a bath again to try to get her to poop more but we couldn't get anything. Whats the best way? she seems really clogged up.
Try a few drops of mineral or vegetable oil in some squash baby food or plain pumpkin. (Not spiced)
Keep up the warm baths. Make it a little deeper so your beardie can swim and exercise a bit. Hope this helps!

she's not strong/stable enough to exercise she'll just lay there. today she walked around once or twice in the tub but not for long. I'll try the baby food tomorrow! I heard apple sauce may work as well?

I used Baby food (squash kind) for my Wiz, but I have heard they will eat applesauce. I'm glad your little one is "running" around. I'm still waiting for my girl to get up and start being a little active. As for the pooping issue, last night I stayed up with Wiz for 3 hours massaging and letting her soak in combination with veggi oil.

everyday things seem to be getting better with kai this morning i woke up and she was holding herself up and was alert. her back legs also looked normal.
I came home from school and she was laying on this bridge we have for them which they have to climb to get on. i took her out and she was walking around and was able to rite herself which she didnt do yesterday!
i gave her prune baby food with 2 drops of oil in it to try to get her to poop and a bath. no success but hopefully she'll do it on her own.
i dont know what is helping her if its the antibiotics or the little poop we got 2 days ago, but whatever it is is working!
To everyone that posted stuff to help me with Kai thanks so much Kai is much better and seems almost normal.
Today I saw her eat more then I've ever seen here eat before and I even got her to eat some greens which is unusual for her because she just doesn't seem to like them.
This website never fails me!
