[QUOTE="Drache613, post: 2033524, member: 8309"] Hello Christel, No problem at all! How is your boy doing this evening? I see that his uric acid readings have gone way down since February, so that is good to see. As far as fatty liver, they can definitely recover from that. I will look more into the LDH levels for you, maybe something is being missed. I think his tank setup is fine, right now. The size upgrade will be great for him. The Reptisun 10 tube is a nice bulb. Do you have a light fixture around it or just mounted on top of the tank? On the other end, is the Reptisun 10 a compact/coil light? As suggested, you could cut out the calcium with D3 & go with just calcium a few days per week. The Reptivite has D3 & synthetic vitamin A in it which can cause some oversupplementation & or possible toxicity issues since they are fat soluble vitamins & stored in the liver. Since they have a unique but slower metabolism, things that can be stored in the body longer than in a mammals' system can take longer to break down & be flushed out. For now, I would look for a multivitamin powder that has beta carotene in it, instead & one that has no calcium or D3. I would recommend Milk thistle in either liquid or powder form to help out the liver. The liver does have regenerative properties, so getting it healthier to get it functioning more efficiently is ideal right now. Keep his fat intake a little lower while increasing a bit more greens & vegetation. Let us know how he is doing. Tracie [/QUOTE]
