[QUOTE="bayoupig5, post: 1996211, member: 27248"] Thanks, it was terrifying, and the anticipation of it happening again is worrisome.I am going to get her bloodwork tomorrow, just to see where her levels are. I only give the Repashy Calcium Plus once per week. The rest of the time she gets regular calcium. As I mentioned it was 6 to 7 days per week at the ridiculous egg production period. Since she seems to have stopped that I am down to 5 to 6 days per week of calcium. It is hard to know if I am giving her too much calcium as she had one toe on her front foot very recently that would flick or tremor (same toe all the time, looked like she was tapping it). Thought, calcium issue. However, she has had little strange intermittent tremors since the septic arthritis in 2018. Her tail rocks slightly back and forth when it hangs sometimes. Her stomach area between her hind legs also gets a twitch on both sides sometimes. She over shoots her steps when walking, lifting her right hind leg way high quite a bit, can be a little clumsy at times and on uneven surfaces can flip herself over. Most of her issues have been hind quarter related, long term and mostly stable with little change over the last 4 years. It would break my heart if it was a deficiency, as I know I have been giving more than advised to compensate for all the eggs. At her last blood work 2 years ago, her levels were normal. In rectrospect, what I maybe chalked up to damage from the arthritis (nerve, bone and muscle loss), may actually have been a slow and progressive neurological issue. I have been watching her every 30 to 45 minutes today. She is walking to her basking area, to her cool area, walked to the usual spot in her viv to poop (which looked great), drank a little water from a syringe and actually ate some superworms! She is of normal color, venting appropriately, and there is no black beard. She is responsive, and head is upright It is almost like nothing happened. No sign of further seizure activity yet. I pinched each of her feet for response, and she pulls all away quickly, except for the front right ( the one with the tapping toe) which is more delayed in response. This is how she looks this evening. [/QUOTE]
