[QUOTE="Drache613, post: 2024035, member: 8309"] Hello, I looked over the blood tests. Overall, they look pretty normal. The calcium to phosphorus ratio looks balanced which is very important. Is this the first time he has ever had any type of seizure, correct? Sometimes that can happen when ingesting a toxin as someone had suggested, or possibly a lower ionized calcium level. Most complete blood tests don't include an ionized calcium reading which is a separate test that measures the 25Hydroxy levels or the D3 readings. Sometimes the calcium levels can appear normal but the stores might be low. It can take time for the bones to become leached. I'm not saying that is what it is but it can happen. Since your dragon is a little older he might be having some absorption trouble perhaps. You could consider a liquid calcium supplement instead of powder, if you aren't already using one. The only reading I saw that was slightly off but still in range would be the Uric acid levels. He might just need some hydration, no problem. Maybe try adding some black or tart cherry juice a few times a week in case the kidneys are having a bit of trouble. The AST or liver enzymes look within range also. I'm glad that he's doing better today! Keep us posted on him. Tracie [/QUOTE]
