Our female bearded dragon has been diagnosed with low calcium levels. She isn’t at the metabolic bone disease stage, but her last couple of clutches of eggs have been squishy rather than calcium coated. Yellow pulpy blobs.
Blood tests done in April, vet said to put her on liquid Zolcal D as well as the calcium dust we usually use. My exotics vet said calcium injections are bad news for dragons, can induce heart problems. She said liquid calcium (specifically Zolcal D) but not injections. She also said not magnesium, just calcium and D3.
I am struggling with sourcing Zolcal D. It’s been out of production for months and the manufacturers don’t reply when I ask for expected date.
Are there any GOOD alternatives? Or does anyone know where I can get Zolcal D please? I have bought it from 2 places online - both refunded me (Irish one won’t ship to England! Tortoise one wanted to substitute for calcium + magnesium liquid). Or does anyone have a part used bottle they would part with please?
ETA regularly changed UV bulbs, very varied diet, healthy appetite, daily powder coated live with Nutrobal, calci dust dish in Viv, huge viv etc. Male is fine, just female needing extra calcium... vet says liquid calcium.
