Hi-
Since your animal is already suffering loss of movement in the limbs, you
need to find a faster way than dusting to administer the calcium. If she does
have a calcium deficiency, its likely she will stop eating soon anyway.
Liquids given by drop are best. I try 4-5 drops 2 times a day. (if you don't
stress the gecko too much)
How much you dust for uros is tricky cause they need UV exposure, so you
would dust less, with Ca that does not contain D3. - IF you had them under UV
light or some natural indirect light.
One thing is strange in this case, usually the animal loses movement in the
rear legs first.
Is the animal eating?
Do you know a herp vet?
