Ooops, sorry I forgot to mention that those
photos were taken in the summer of 2002.
Bowser is much better now. Spotty is the
turtle on the right and you can see how much
bigger and colorful Spotty has gotten in that
series of photos I posted. Spotty is in the
third photo down.
I actually had put up the group of photos showing
young Bowser with MBD on the web, so I could show
them to my vet. The vet confirmed my diagnosis, he
had done a paper on it in vet school but he advised me.
Fortunately I had also just read about MBD in Reptiles
magazine
I just started watching what he was eating, made
sure he got plenty of calcium with D3 and made
sure he got outside frequently. It was a slow
process, but he and the other turtle that had it
ate well and gradually got better.
They are all hibernating now.
