i have a captive bread greek. it was purchased from a local shop from birth. he was the size of a quarter when i got him and i have had him for 4 years. he's full grown. i found him with his penis out and appearing to have trouble getting it back in. i took him to the vet immediately and they say that he has urates so built up inside that his penis has no room to go back in. i now have to soak him for an hour every other hour in water 80-90 degrees until the x-ray are taken to determine what can be done. has anyone heard of this? i fed him organic romain and shredded veggies on a regular basis. i gave him calcium 1-2 times per week as recommended. i soaked him 1-2 times per week as recommended. i walk him outside. he doesn't have a tank, he has a terrarium. i just don't know what i can change or have done wrong and the vet also seems unsure.
