hello everyone. i just took peaches to the vet today to try to get her treat for the impaction. turns out there wasn’t one in fact not even constipation which threw me off… she hasn’t pooped that i know of in 3 weeks. they found a shell fracture near her pelvis along the line on the bottom of her. the vet believes this is because of the MBD that i know she has but i’m not convinced. We didn’t really find out what’s wrong with her besides her lungs looking a little off on the x-ray. are there any other reasons for this fracture? does this affect the tortoise at all?? is it painful?? the doc says it’s fully healed. but when i press on it it moves. i can try to get a video if possible. please anyone let me know if this is a bigger problem than the vet made it as well as why she isn’t pooping or eating.
