I took her to the vet today. I took her in because the Company I bought her from isnt helping me any on trying to figure out why she is like this. Everything came back clear. They have no clue what might be wrong. They are also leaning towards MBD. She is still shaking quite a bit. Not all the time but when she walks slowley or when she hold one foot up or so. If anybody has any idea, please let me hear them.

i was thinking maybe she was impacted when i first read about this awhile back.. because their back legs can shake quite a bit when this happens because of nerve endings being cut off or pinched.. i don't know if after the impaction is cleared if there is any lasting effects with nerves and the like. if not my guess would also be MBD.. but does she have any of the other signs of MBD.. like swelling around the jaw, rubbery legs etc.. or is it just the shakiness.. i don't really know about MBD in leos i have had a waterdragon with it a long time ago but i don't know if they have similar symptoms.. i do know however that shakiness can be equated to a number or diseases, conditions or infections.

i hope some of that rambling helpes

and it probably won't hurt if you just keep pumping in the calcium ..hehe.. just in case it is MBD..

It is normal for geckos legs to shake a little sometimes when they walk slowly. In the absence of other symptoms, and if it's not all the time, I wouldn't worry. Just be sure to always offer a dish a phosphorus-free calcium.
