Gecko paralyzed?

[Boof47]

My marbled velvet gecko doesn't seem to be able to move his back legs or tail, I've tried soaking him in warm water to see if he's impacted, but nothing happened. He seems fine otherwise, alert and trying to run and climb. Don't know what to do now, anyone know what may be wrong?

How old is it...
Could be mbd

 

[Boof47]

He'd be nearly 3, I've had him for 2 years.

How much calcium is in it's diet?

 

[Boof47]

Ah damn, hardly any come to think of it, I dust his crickets every now and then

 

[dragondragon]

You need to dust every couple of feeds

We had the same problem with our PBD, we thought he was getting enough Calcium but unbeknown to us he was dropping his Crickets and Mealworms in his water dish before eating them, why, who knows but the vet gave us a tube of Calcium Gel and a little syringe (minus the needle) and told us to inject 2ml of gel down it's throat gently every second day for 2 weeks, it fixed it up ok, now we take the water dish out of the enclosure at feeding time. ....................................Ron

Could possibly be delayed metabolic bone disease (mbd), pump him with calcium as Ron said.
Good luck mate

Housed alone or with others?
