Sorry Kyle, but there's no getting around a vet visit with this. There's probably more than "just" Metabolic Bone Disease involved here. I'm not sure where you are, but here's a list that should help you find a good, no--GREAT--herp vet:

GIS Recommended Vet List

Explain your financial situation to the vet and see if he/she's willing to take payments for the visit.

I agree. A vet is necesssary and as soon as possible! Where are you located? Maybe someone can advise you of a vet in your area.
