Chance needs a vet. If it is MBD he/she MUST have UVB lighting. A two bulb fixture using high quality UVB bulbs (I would use Zoo-Meds 5.0 bulbs) placed inches away for 12-14 hours per day. Even better would be unfiltered sunlight if temps permit. All the supplimentation in the world will not cure this unless proper heat, diet, and lighting are provided. A vet might provide you with Neocalglucon or other suitable drug for oral doses. Other forms of injectible Ca might also be given along with D3. Vitamin E/selenium deficiency may cause symptoms like MBD. So you can see there are many reasons Chance needs a vet NOW. Best of luck to Chance, Iguana03
