Hello! I noticed this morning that my female veiled had a swollen foot and the nails had fallen off. She was also using her back legs oddly, trying to grip her front legs instead of branches. I took her to the emergency vet. They did x rays and determined she has that soggy bone syndrome ( which i knew already; her veil is crooked) and had fractured her leg. They gave her a liquid calcium supplement and said they would call me when the second opinion from the radiologist came in. We left the vet and went to petsmart. I bought calcium powder to sprinkle on the crickets I feed her. They eat a complete cricket diet (those orange cubes) that I guess was not enough for her. I feel so guilty I didn't get the powder sooner. Anyway we get home so I put her back in her enclosure and just observe for a while. She struggled to climb and would rely on her front legs, usually falling to the bottom as a result. I put a towel down to cushion the next fall but I'm worried she won't get better. Has this happened to anyone else?
