Have you ever seen a worse case of MBD?

This is a female ig I rescued a while ago. Has anyone ever seen more severe MBD?

Wow...Poor dear.
What kind of treatment are you getting/giving her?

She was given multivitamin and calcium injections and put on a proper diet. She's long since fattened up, but that was what she looked like day one I got her.

Good god, I have never seen anything like that before! Good to know you took good care of it!

in the last 10 years that were worse than that. The first extreme case that I'd ever seen was this poor little iguana. She had to be euthanized as she wasn't mobile at all, could just scoot around in a circle.
