The B vitamins and minerals are in the Brewer's yeast that we talked about. You can also get vitamin capsules through Amazon or a pharmacy. If you get them at a healthfood store, you're gonna pay a lot more.

Yes, the brewers yeast and bee pollen are both high in the B vitamins and I have used both on my beardies over the yrs.

I spoke to the vet briefly she called me from home so i will have more details tomorrow...she said calcium levels are high..probably due to shes making eggs...no eggs seen on x ray...her heterocells/white blood cell is up it is 60%..phosperous 2.1....she is going to e-mail me full results tomorrow and wants to start the medcam again...my question is is the seerapetase better for her and work the same as the other.
She also discussed the possibility of spaying at some point if all this is egg related.

Oh, poor Malibu, she doesn't need eggs on top of everything she's going through.

I have never used Metacam on my beardies but have had good results from the Serrapeptase and have never noticed any side effects. I have heard that the Metcam can cause drowsiness and loss of appetite though. Perhaps Tracie will pop in and give her thoughts. I know she does have the liquid Serrapeptase on her site.

Hello Cindy,

I hope Malibu doesn't pout too long after her sonogram & shot of B vitamins! They can be so sensitive, can't they?
Keep us posted on her. Since she does have eggs, her levels will be elevated for awhile. I hope she is feeling well today.

That's so weird that the eggs didn't show up on the x-ray.
Could her making eggs be causing all of the vertigo?? Did you get the full blood test results back?

Blood work came back..calcium high due to eggs...Tracey had a look at it...it may be a vitamin b deficiency or egg on a nerve...she is getting b shots and anti-inflammatory

That's it? Vitamin B deficiency is easy to cure, but too bad you'll have to drive to the vet's every day for the shots.

How had Malibu been since the weekend?

Hello Cindy,

Thought I would check in on your thread. :D
That is great news she is holding her tail up better so she must be feeling a little bit better then?
Since she is basking that will definitely help too! I hope you are able to find the brewer's yeast also.
