Back story:
She was purchased with the male this spring. They had been together and breeding for a year previous to this. Shortly after getting them I separated them after she became gravid. She has laid 2 clutches for me but the second set having thinner shells.
She has plain calcium in the tank 24/7 and crickets dusted with calcium w/D3.
Today I noticed her tail looks slightly kinked and she is walking weird (looks like her front right leg has something wrong). After this I have added calcium drops to her water and uvb bulb. Will be taking her to the vet too.
Anyone here experienced anything like this with a cave gecko? What helped or didn't work?

Update after vet visit.
She has MBD and fractures in her legs. I'm not ready to give up on her yet, so she's been given liquid calcium carbonate, a liquid vitamin A&D supplement and pain killers. I am also hand feeding her. I am hoping for the best but am aware that her odds aren't great, especially with being gravid.
