Will he fully recover?

[Guest]

The skinny on my tegu: I got my first tegu last year from Bobby. The bulb I had didnt give enough D3, even though it was a 10.0. By the time I found out the problem and purchased a PowerSun bulb it was almost hibernation season. He stopped eating and sun bathing, so he was never able to recover before hibernation.
He finally woke a week ago and has been eating: pinkies, turkey, liver/cod liver oil, fish, and chicken gizzards like a wild man. He is much more mobile and is coming out to bath longer every day. His tail is still a little wavy near the end and his walking is still a tiny tiny bit wobbly. I have been dusting all his food with calcium powder.
Does anyone have a similar experience? I want to know if you guys/girls think he will recover with no visable deformaties? Will his tail straighten out and will he grow just as big as a tegu that never had MBD?
He is about 1 yr old now.
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.

I ounce had a Bearded dragon with Mbd,from my experience if you catch it in the early stages then start to supplement more frequently and provide proper uvb,they will start to improve however the damage Mbd does cannot be reversed,you can stop and possibly cure it but any physical damage mbd has done is final. He will live and eat normal but for the wavy tail and wobble walk that might be there to stay,I am not too sure if it will completely stunt his grown and keep him from reaching his full length but he will grow slower. Just keep up with what you are doing and offer rodents,he should start to get better. Also make sure you take him to the vet on at least a month to month basis,so you could not only check how well he is recovering in physical appearance and behavior but to see if his bones are strengthen and if there is any further damage mbd may have done . Good luck.
