[QUOTE="Drache613, post: 2024428, member: 8309"] 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. Tracie [/QUOTE]
