    Default Question about possible odontoma and seizure

    Hi I was wondering if this condition can cause seizures if left to grow? I am not sure if yet but wanted to ask.
    Nugget is in pain again and I know there are probably several things going on, but this twitching is new.
    Thank you 💗

    Hi Carrie,

    If it is recurring MBD, the source of the problem is most likely diet. What are you feeding?

    Please be aware that MBD takes months to clear up with calcium treatments multiple times a day. Also, MBD will kill your squirrel if it’s not treated appropriately.

    As Tomahawkflyers asked, please post your squirrels diet…..everything it eats on a daily basis.

    Henry's blocks and sticks, fruits and veggies, but had started letting him have some nuts again......I know, he has been having supplemental formula for over 6 months, 2x a day, made from Fox Valley, Henry's vitamins and sometimes calcium, but his poops were white so I didn't always add extra, so I was not expecting him to have this again, he has been doing sooooo great, he is not doing too well, I hope I can turn it around, it was bad fast before I realized.

    You have to follow the MBD protocol on Henry’s website. The link was posted above. It’s best to space the calcium out over the course of the day. Only use calcium with no Vitamin D.
