the x ray was taken two weeks ago tomorrow and the eggs seemed round not oval

yes i trust my vet she went back to college to study reptiles and other exotic animals for three years after she qualified as a vet
mind i have to travel over ten miles on a bus to see her
at present i have to dust all her meals in nutrabal and give her zolcal-d
untill she lays then back to vet for more x rays to determine how bad mbd is
thanks for your replies miss lily are you the same miss lily thats on rfuk?
i am awh on there
she is now getting zolcal-d each day and her food is dusted with nutrabal as recomended by vet
if mbd is not hereditory may try to incubate eggs then when and if she lays them
