Hi,
I noticed Tifa was having a twitch/flutter in her left upper-arm yesterday all throughout the day. It stopped now and then, but seemed pretty persistent. So far this morning I haven't seen it, but it still made me worry.
I googled it and almost all the topics I found were MBD-related. This seemed weird to me because her last few poops had some orange at the end of the urate, which I'd come to understand she might be getting too much calcium? Maybe I misunderstood what that implies?
* her limbs and body in general seem to be functioning just fine, she's very alert and active *
She's recently out of her 'brumation' and seems to be raging with hormones ever since. And I couldn't find any info on whether all that crazy energy could cause such a twitching.
Basically I'm trying to figure out if there might be any other reason for it or if its something that I need to monitor and maybe have the vet look at. Any thoughts are appreciated!
