Care must be taking not to give too much calcium with D3. Unfortunately to know if MBD is what affecting your bearded dragon, you have to detail exactly what symptoms your dragon is showing. Also it would be good to explain your setup, temps, uvb bulb type/age, what you feed your dragon etc.



Also, the liquid calcium isn't very good to use, as it is easy to over does on this stuff. It probably be best to see a vet who is knowledgeable or very experienced with bearded dragon care, or at least lizards.



If your dragon is indeed suffering from MBD, it can be treated and the recovery chances are pretty good. Deformalities from soft bones may not totally go away but this usually only becomes evident in very advanced forms of MBD. If you are seeing deformalities of bones (jaw and/or limbs especially) you deffinitely have to take him to a vet right away. At this advanced stage, the vet will need to inject calcium directly into the bloodstream.
