This 15-year-old red-eared slider turtle had been raised since it was a hatchling on a diet of peeled shrimp and iceberg lettuce. At the time that it was presented for examination, it was not using its hindlimbs; rather, when it was picked up and held vertically, they dangled loosely. The turtle’s shell was flat, deformed and markedly soft to the touch.

A two-year-old, neutered female Giant Schnauzer presented with urinary incontinence of several months’ duration. The dog leaked when recumbent and the severity of the incontinence varied. The dog was otherwise normal. She was spayed at 11 months old after her first season and was not incontinent as a puppy.
