was given two cresteds yesterday and the poor female has a slack jaw and no tail. I know her condition is mbd caused from poor calcium absorbtion. I don't think she can eat like she is and I was wondering if calcium injections will help or any idea what might help pull her through. I was considering a mouth splint of sorts that i could remove to feed her. Will it strenthen up or is she doomed to starve? Thanks ahead of tiem for any info.

Calcium injections would help. If she is VERY weak, there is a food that you can syringe feed her with something you can get from the vet called Hill's a/d diet. Mix that with some water anda bit of calcium to get her fluids and energy up. Most importantly, take her to the vet asap..she definately needs calcium injections. good luck with her
