I’ll try to pick some of that up and see if it helps. I assume I don’t give her too much of it. I’ll probably have to make it in a smoothie since she won’t eat on her own yet.Hello Brandon,
How is Zilla this evening, bless her, she does look tired there. It sounds like though, she is
sleeping pretty well which is good.
Hypercalcemia & Hypocalcemia have similiar symptoms unfortunately & often mimic metabolic
bone disease which mars the diagnosis.
Hypercalcemia can lead to heart issues, renal issues, calcification of organs possibly, odd swelling
& growths or nodules on the cervical or spinal areas sometimes. If your dragon has trouble with
absorption of calcium due to health issues such as what she was going through with the egg &
follicular problems that likely contributed to a lot of it. Her system's metabolism was thrown out
of balance & her body probably wasn't excreting excess properly. It is highly possible as well that
her doses of calcium were too high.
Was she ever given calcium injections possibly?
You could consider trying to give parsley, cilantro, basil & mint a few times per week to try & bind
excess calcium for awhile & monitor her behavior. Is she drinking a good amount of fluid right now?
Keep us posted on her.

I’ll have to check when I get home. I have 2 different ones she eats. Different flavors so she don’t get tired of one. Never thought about the calcium in it.Hello Brandon,
Ok, the calcium is too high since she definitely isn't developing eggs or follicular development.
Just wondering, can you look at the package of the Critical Care & let me know how much calcium
is in the product? Perhaps that is overloading her system possibly.
Is she doing ok, after her vet visit?
