Hello, I have a golden greek tortoise of 13 years and she has developed what I think is Metabolic bone disease. I have taken her the the vet several times and she’s a lost cause. My guess is to do symptomatic treatment and then ease in large calcium intake in hopes she recovers. The biggest issue right now, besides excessive shedding, is the constipation. I have tried EVERYTHING!! Car rides, warm soaking, moving her around, fed her aloe, dragon fruit, pumpkin, mineral oil, etc etc etc. I need something that will make her poop today bc she is now starting to gag (this has happened before). Her only way of getting g out the food is through throwing it up and it’s extremely hard to her to keep enduring that. Please please please, some refer me to laxative medication or an enema of some sort!!! Something to make her poop please I’m so so desperate. (this has been going on and off for about a year)
