She's gotten worse.

Tobias is staying real close to her... she refused to eat this morning and hasn't in four days. It's almost like he's comforting her.

Have you tried asking your vet for some of the liquid calcium? Sorry I can't remember the name of it, but the vet should know what you need.

Keep feeding her the beef baby food or, if you can get it from the vet, the Hill's Prescription Diet AD that I mentioned in my previous post. One can is not expensive (maybe a dollar or two). Put extra powdered calcium in the food and mix it up.

Even my very sick lizards would still eat that if offered in a watery paste mixture from a syringe.

I'm sure thats exactly what he's doing. They get attached to each other like they do not in the wild. I do not know what can help her, but Eve is probably right about this one. So sorry.

Yeah, they're about five inches from it now. She hasn't moved in an hour. Tobias went to bask, and she's just laying under the UVB, trembling.

I am so sorry for you. My girlfriend felt just like you when "Sara" had MBD. But we hopefully reversed back the disease !

First, I changed the type of dusting supplements. Make sure the powder is phosphorus free !
Second, I got a day off to get her a full day outdoor. I know that your letting them couples of hours under sun but full day could be a great try.

That wasnt this easy cause she doesnt wanted to eat at this point. I bought her some superworms and she just licked the powder on it. I repowdered the same worm 3 times before she ate it.
