Does he have any other symptoms? Are you near a vet? Do you supplement him with calcium and vitamin D?

More information would make it easier to help you...

sounds like a calcium deficieny to me. a kinked back is how it usually shows up in bts. how old is he and how long have you had him?

ya, it sounds like a calcium deficiency to me too, it would help alot if you could take a picture or tell us some more symptoms, In the mean time i would try to get him to a vet, and try giving him lots of calcium.
