Expiration dates are required, but without knowing the
criteria for "expiration" you may be discarding or not using something where the
product has not expired. Depending on what constitutes the liquid
(stabilizing sugar, antimicrobial agents, etc.) the expiration may be based on
chances of growth not in the calcium itself. Calcium is not going
anywhere. Since this product is expensive and you are not using it for
humans, you may want to (1) contact the manufacturer regarding the expiration
criteria, (2) aliquot the liquid and refrigerate all. Refrigeration can
cause it to become viscous or precipitate. That can sometime be fixed
after rewarming and mixing.

Hi Robert,
In the USA the liquid calcium syrup supplement you are probably looking for
is available at some pharmacies in pint-sized containers for about $32. It
is called Neo-Calglucon (calcium glubionate). Mine expired October 2000, or
I would send you some.
BTW, did Santa place one of those Reptilia Gecko 2001 calendars under your
tree?
