The vet I went to is a very good exotics vet. She is sending Grendel's x-rays to a specicalist at the local hospital to double check. She did tell me that what she thought it was was that Grendel had a bacterial infection that was left untreated. The infections spreads and enters the bones. Once there it starts to break them down. Since it was only in one spot the vet ruled out MBD. I was standing next to her when she read the x-rays so I saw them too. We also saw that her tail had been broken at some point in her early life. I know it wasn't with me since she came with her tail a little curve in it. I should hear back on Friday what the specialist says. I'll keep you informed. Thanks for passing on the info Tami.

Please keep your fingers crossed for her. If it is what the vet suspects Grendel's condition will only continue to deteriorate. She would have to be put down since she has little to no control over her back legs.
