well, i took him to the vet today, and the initial diagnosis is that he is not getting enough calcium in his diet -- the culprit being the prepackaged spring mix that does not contain enough of the "right" greens.



he got a calcium injection and i'm suppose to focus on giving him better greens like mustard, turnip, and beet greens.



if this doesn't help him, then x-rays are the next step.



thanks again for the responses... i'm hoping that he will be better soon.



also, at the vet they had a very sweet 50 year old redfoot that belongs to one of the doctors -- we let him and junior meet!
