This just happen over night. i have a 1 year old leo female geko.
She was fine last night but tonight when ever she tries to walk her legs shake (all of her legs shake) and she drags her belly.
her belly is fine no dark spots and she squints her eyes alot.
any help is truelly appresiated...
i have called my Vet but he has not called me back yet....
Sounds like MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease)! Do you dust with a calcium D3 supplement and keep a pure calcium dish in with her?

Yes I do I do not use a lot of calcium D3 because I heard it was bad to use alot. I do keep calcium dust in her dish. Keep in mind that this happend overnight
I do not see how this can happen over night i'm sorry to say! Has anything fell on her perhaps??? Your best bet is take her to a vet ASAP.

Forget that calcium dish and get her Neocalglucon, either from your vet's office or local pharmacy. That is used in the treatment for MBD, if that is what he has.
It may not have happened "overnight", but just happens that you finally noticed the tremors or inability to walk. He was probably doing that before when he was most active.
Or then again, if you have kids in the house, a cat, a curious Joe that picked it up and may have hurt it, you want to look into that too.
