Hello
I just read that on a reptile site, it talks about a lizard
"The vet said he has kidney failure. This occurred because the phosphorus level was above the calcium level. The vet said I might be giving him too much vitamin and calcium supplements. He was concerned about the vitamin D intake and said to dust his food only once a week. To try and reverse the kidney failure (which is possible) He has me giving him Gatorade, malox, water, and an antibiotic. He said the treatment will take months to do but it should get better due to his young age (1 1/2 years I think)."
I know the vet is not sure if Hermy has a kidney failure and we wont know before she finishes the antibiotics. I give her the calcium with D3 twice a week and once a week i give her the zoo med vitamins with D3. Should I give her the calcium once a week and forget about the vitamins until I know for sure his kidneys are fine.
Sorry I was not sure if this thread would go in Hermanns or food and diet, feel free to move it if it is not in the right category.
Thanks
