If her condition hasn't changed or is worse, get her to a vet tomorrow asap (Tuesday). If the cause is MBD its going to need vet attention right away to ensure it doesn't get worse. Mixing calcium powder with water and trying to get a dragon to drink it, may not work very well. A vet can administer a shot directly into the blood stream which will be much more effective.

Also, shaky limbs may be due to something other than low blood calcium and weakened bones, other nutrient deficiencies can cause this.
