MBD question

[thesilverbeast]

hello, yoshi is shedding atm.

when he was just sitting still he seems to jerk a few times and then stop. he walked away not long after to continue rubbing up against stuff to get the shed off.


could that have been serious?


he was at the vet (one of the best) only a month or so ago and was healthy.


i read the caresheet and this gets my attention under the MBd part...
"violent convulsions"


could this be it? his diet isnt as good as it should be as he wont eat a lot but lately ive been trying to give him more fruit. whereas he's been on mostly meat. i thought this was normal as he is only 7 months old.

Mine has a judder now and again ,I liken it to a shiver, dont panic unless its for a short while {like a proper fit}

its was sort of like a hiccuping motion but not hiccups and coming from within the body. it lasted maybe 10 seconds with a jolt every few seconds, then went on his way. seem fine now even. never seen anything like it.

Several of mine have done the hiccup every now again....nothing abnormal. I'd wager to see it's certainly not MBD at only 7 months old, but at that age, meat is the best food for him! Of course, still add the greens, and don't forget calcium. Collards are high in it.
