<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1=What is your diagnosis of the turtle on the left?
|a1=
Metabolic bone disease.
|l1=
|q2=What poor techniques of captive management might be the cause of this turtle’s disorder?
|a2=
A diet rich in phosphorus and low in calcium; hypovitaminosis D3; and lack of exposure to unfiltered sunlight or full-spectrum ultraviolet light can cause metabolic bone disease.
|l2=
|q3=How is this condition treated?
|a3=
Change to a more natural high-calcium, moderate-phosphorus diet that contains bony tissue, eg, live fish or commercial floating turtle chow, and calcium-rich leafy vegetation and algae.

If deemed appropriate, calcium lactate or gluconate can be administered orally or parenterally (1.0–2.5mg/kg daily).

Although the bony carapace and plastron will eventually become remineralised when the turtle’s diet is improved, the deformities are likely to remain apparent for the life of the turtle.
