Question
my Berdi is really sick!She does not use one of her legs and has a hard time holding her head up.She twists around in circles and i am really worried about her! do you have any suggestions?

Answer
Carolin, you need to take her to the vet right away. There is never anything good about not using limbs and not being able to hold up her head. A vet will be able to diagnose her and perscribe correct medication. Without a vet she wont likely make it. So whatever you need to do be it make payments for the vet, work out a kind of deal or whatever. She needs vet attention this is not something that can be treated at home. Raise her temperatures and hope that its not too late. It sounds like MBD Metabolic Bone Disease which can be fatal. Make sure you have all the correct things that she needs to be healthy, UV ligthing, correct food, Correct size enclosure etc. I really hope its not too late, Good luck and let me know how it goes.
