Theodore

Question
I asked you yesterday about my little Theordore.  You are right - he is not in any pain but my heart breaks when I watch him.  We bought some calcium pills with vitamin D in them and some liquid calcium with Vitamin D & magnesium in them.  Will the magnesium hurt him or is it okay to give it to him?  He takes the liquid with no problem but does not like the crushed pills with water.  Someone else suggested a vitamin C deficiency.  He gets lots of healthy food but we have cut his pellets back because of his weight.  could it be vitamin c too?

Answer
Hi again

I doubt the problem lies with a vitamin c deficiency as the symptoms are different than the ones you described.

I suggest you continue with the calcium therapy and if there is no improvement in his condition within 48 hours then consult your vet.
