Hello Robbin,
Wow, what a huge difference, that is too bad.
I apologize, please remind me what UVB he has again? He did not have UVB before you got him, correct?
Just trying to make sure I have everything straight to make a full analysis.
He weighs 30 grams now, or maybe a little more? He is young, so, hopefully we can get him on track FAST before he gets worse.
I will dose the Zilla calcium for you, because I know the concentration of it. They recommend 3 drops, & I am not sure how scientific that actually is.
I am hesitant to have you cut the protein back too much because he is in his growing stages. Unfortunately sometimes when their calcium levels get too low, & begin to leach the bones, it can continue to do damage while they grow. His levels were probably very low when you got him, so his growth was affected somewhat in his tail by the curvature.
Hopefully this will turn him around. Sometimes other factors can affect their calcium absorption too like an imbalance of nutrients, or other illnesses, etc.
How is he doing today, he is a cutie!
