Hi,
My 12 year old spur thighed is in the vets again after suffering another prolapse. The vet says she has a deformity that means her carapace isn't growing big enough to accommodate her insides, probably caused by a deficiency but not one that we can rectify (i.e. it's not a calcium or vitamin deficiency). She has nutrobal on her food, eats weeds, greens and dandelion leaves, has vionate a couple of times a week, UV and heat lamp in her tortoise table and when I can she comes out in the garden with me (she had an outside run up until last year but it got destroyed so we are in the process of making a new one). The vet says there's nothing I can do to help her but I can't help feeling there is. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so did you solve it?
