I've never heard or seen any case of D3 overdose, honestly. I've never come across typical symptoms of such and I think that what people tend to believe to be a D3 overdose, is usually just way too much calcium.

His front legs look fine in the recent picture, I'm in the process of nursing a juvenile with early stages of MBD (just a bend in the front legs at this point), and I've been using calcium with d3 to dust all of the crickets, and she has improved significantly.

You look like you're doing pretty good I'd keep up the methods you're currently using

Most recent picture looks better! His feet aren't facing in almost at all. Just offer the calcium without D3 in the tank (a little cap full should do) at all times and dust your feeders with the calcium with D3 about twice a week. Don't force it. He'll lick it up when he needs it. You may never see him lick it up but they do. I've caught all of my leopard geckos licking it up at least once. He should be ok if you continue to dust an offer calcium.

Well, actually you can, I have seen cases from friendīs animals and nearly not being able to move to going back to abslute normality, MBD is reversible

The bones can become strong again yes and they can live a happy normal life but any deformed bones caused by MDB can not go back to normal.

Well, I actually SAW it happen, I am almost sure I can get pictures of the animal )Before and after), the poor thing had the rear legs awefully positioned, couldnīt walk, and after treatment she went back to normal, she has no signs of ever having been sick she belongs to a neighbor of mine and I keep close contact with him, it is not something I heard about, but something I saw in person, I thaught that animal was going to die, I must say, the legs were not twisted or bent or anything, just positioned oddly
Yoshi'smom and Angey like this.

I found pictures of another case, but it is not a leo, it was a Chamaleo calyptratus also with MBD, closely dead and then fully recovered, I canīt find the pictures of the gecko maybe they were in my previous mobile phone which got stolen, I have sooooo many animal pictures that sometimes itīs difficult to find the ones I am looking for
