I ended up bringing home a baby bearded dragon and she isn't in the healthiest state, I already consulted a vet and they told me as long as she is eating and defecating that's all we can ask for. I'd like to ask for the opinion of others who may be more knowledgeable than me or have dealt with something similar. She was given to me the moment something appeared off, she would have episodes of odd behavior, it was when her cage was getting cleaned that I first saw her suffer from a seizure, she would have at least one daily but usually, it would happen multiple times on the same day, her body also occasionally froze completely, she even fell off her log sometimes and it took over a minute for her to move around again. I already had three adult bearded dragons so it was painfully obvious that her whole body seemed off, most likely affected by metabolic bone disease, her front legs are curved and her entire back end looks crooked, her back legs don't move and they seem to only get in her way. She has a healthy appetite and good coloring, she's alert and drags herself around all over her cage and has not suffered a seizure since I brought her home but she has tipped herself over giving me a good scare a few times, her back legs usually getting stuck under her. I'm not too sure what to do, from what I can tell she has no feeling from her back legs down. Do I leave her be and see if she can adapt or is there something else I should do to make her life easier? I already had a beardie that needed more help than usual so it's not a problem that she needs a bit extra attention, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time
