yeah this is the one i stopped the injections going orally nowyagyujubei said:Is this the one on the baytril? The injections can cause localized pain and bruising at the injection site. So it could just be very sore, especially on one that has very little muscle mass to begin with. Does this fit? I would place food and water right in front of it for now.

Sorry to keep flooding your thread, but I had another thought to back up what I said. You have described very well your care for the tortoises and in your pictures of their habitat in previous threads. I don't see how the tortoise could be suffering from MBD with all the "right" things you're doing.
