In October I purchased a wild-caught water dragon from a reptile trade show. Less than a week later she stopped using her leg, and a visit to the vet discovered she had fractured it as a result of MBD (resulting from previous living conditions). Aside from the vet splinting the leg, I had to administer calcium syrup orally on a daily basis (luckily it's sweet, so they don't mind taking it), as well as provide plenty of calcium (dusting her food) and UV lighting, and I also had to make sure she got 3 hours of direct sunlight (outdoors) weekly. A few months of that, and she is as good as new, and a recent x-ray showed that her leg healed up quite nicely. Hopefully this will help you out. Also, since her bones are very fragile with MBD, try to handle her as little as possible. I recommend taking her to the vet as well, just be warned that it will be costly as they will most likely x-ray your dragon. I got a lot of slack from friends for spending $200 at the vet for a $12 lizard, but as any good pet-owner knows, you just do what you need to do in order to have happy, healthy animals. Good luck!
