dosages of calcium to a reptile, help would be appreciated

[amanda509]

i havent gotten any responses on any of the threads i posted on the gecko forums, and so far nobody has given me a dosage and how often on here. i went to my local pharmacy and they said liquid calcium without d3 does not exist..go figure, so i did my own snooping. i got a bottle of dry calcium citrate tablets, i figured i could make a paste out of these. it says they are easily absorbable and theres 200 mg per tablet. how much of a tablet should i use, and how many times a day. i also got ahold of gel calcium capsules with d3. theres 200 mg of calcium per capsule along with some d3 and vitamin A. how many drops of this per week?

i know someone has to have experience with this. ill be getting a scale tomorrow to weigh the little guy for appropriate dosages. my pharmacy didnt carry any of the liquid calciums anyone here has reccomended :/

Why don't you get something like Zoomed Reptical with d3 and without d3?

Why don't you try repashy rescue cal? You buy it as powder and mix it with water calcium citrate is not as potent as carbonate so you would need a lot more citrate to get the same effects.

I know your pharmacy won't carry repashy but you could get it online, it'll be with the bug burger and calcium plus I would think.

best bet probably go with repashy. probably has instructions on it as well.

Ive told you what I do already in your original thread. Im no vet but I know what I do works and well.
I use calcium w d3 liquid gel tabs. Poke hole smear on mouth or on feeders. one Drop or so on feeder i do that to a couple feeders a night. Ive never had never had any ill effects from using d3.
