Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I rescued a beardie yesterday that has an aweful case of MBD. She hasn't had any vit d3 in her whole life and she's about a year old. Some others had recommended a calcium injection. Can anyone give me a price estimate? If you would like to know more about her you can email me (I don't really feel like writing out her story). Thanks so much!
 
I would not even considder a shot without an exam by a vet. It can do more harm than good. A sudden burst of calcium can cause arthritis and calcification in the joints.
 
Yea, alot of others have said the same thing. I'm just trying to get a price estimate so I know what I'm up against and then of course add in the visit surcharge and maybe anything else she needs. Thanks.
 
Call your vet

I am a vet student and from what I've learned to date I know for a fact that they can give you price estimates of costs, call. They can't give you dead on "your animal will cost this" without an actual exam, but they can tell you how much calcium treatment typically runs to give you a ballpark. Personally I'd recommend you get this guy an appointment at your vet and ask after they've had a look. Then they can give you a good estimate and what you're odds of turning this guy around are. Get your vet involved, we don't go through 4 years of absolute torture and pain at vet school to sit at home and twiddle our thumbs, vets are a GREAT resource!
 
Oh I'm not saying you do! I'm planning on going to vet school myself. I was just seeing what others paid for it, that's all. I keep meaning to call the vet but I keep on forgetting and there's been alot of stuff going on (family member in hospital). Thanks for the advice though.
