Yes.

well it's kind hard to tell from the pic--her left front leg looks kind of funny but it could be the way she's standing. does it or any of her other limbs appear broken or seem weak like the bones are flexible/bendy? what about her jaw? is it strong and firm or does it gap at all, seem weak or does her mouth hang open?

dust her insects and give her a dish of calcium to eat from if she wants. keep us updated. :)

A few more pictures of the poor thing.

shes a beutiful girl! congradulations on your new addition :)

Her legs do look a little bit.. odd, almost twisted looking. She is a pretty little thing though.

Good luck with your new addition. Keep us posted.:) Nice colors.

Isn't there a disease that makes the joints become puffy and stuff? The legs look kindy puffy to me but iunno. Somebody help me out with this cuz im lazy as crap. I'll look real quick and if nobody else has said it by the time i get back... fine.

Looking at her it doesn't scream MBD but she does seem a bit off. Is she a 'rescue' case or someone selling a sick leopard?

Not looking too good.

Runny, really bad smelling stool and refused food yesterday and today (I even offered wax worms with no luck).

He is going on Monday to see the doc.

sorry to hear that. be very careful not to handle any of your other animals after handling him or to let them come in contact with anything that he has been in contact with and to follow strict quarantine procedures. you might try to get him to lick some turkey flavored baby food from a spoon in order to get some protein in him. let us know how it goes at the vet.
