    I saw a reel by a vet who took advantage of the softness of the shell of a deformed metabolic bone disease turtle in order to correct the shape. She made a contraction that slowly pulled the shell back into the correct shape much like human dental braces.

    You may want to reach out to Chris and Casey at GST. They rescued a turtle (iirc a tortoise) similar to yours. You could see her breathing, her shell was that soft. I can't recall if that turtle survived because one of their concerns was that as the shell hardened, her lungs would not have enough room :( It's so sad to see animals with these conditions and I am grateful that people like you and others are there to save the ones you can 💗🐢🦎🐍🐊🐸🐾

I pray he can be saved and live his long life at Bellowing Acres. Chris, sure hope you feel better. Stay warm. It’s supposed to be 19 degrees tonight in Knoxville TN.

      Not at all I've seen a few porcupines here in Michigan and they are just about as big as him and they were amazingly beautiful. I didn't even realize we had him them here but sadly I'm not sure how long they lasted because I've only seen them like one time and then never again. And I always have food out for wildlife. Anyhow they sometimes stop in the middle of the road and stick their quills up and it's too funny. They are super cute they have like the beaver face.

    If ya have a chance to get some bone broth, it will help make ya feel better, especially this time of year, warm it up and drink a couple cups during the day. Usually grocery stores have it. beef or chicken bone broth. I swear by over the counter zinc for nex ttime before going, swear by it! Great vid!
