I will soak him at least once a day and move his back legs. no I do not feed animal protien. I feed him clover garden mix and kelp calcium every day.

The vet said the stone is the size of a big marble. It is a white spot on the xray she took of him.

Thanks, Mary.

: Increased soaking like Marissa said and physiotherapy of the back legs may help. No animal protein what so ever. One last little trick if you have or can get one of those mechanical toothbrushes rub it against his tail and the end of his plastron. This will help him release the stone.
