better.

Hi-
I would go to a pharmacy and ask for some neo-calglucon. It is quite
expensive and sold in 16 ounce bottles, but my pharmacist gave me 4 ounces in
small presciption bottle for 8 bucks.
This is the quickest method of getting calcium and glucose into your gecko.
You should move quickly before she stops eating completely, or her jaws turn
rubbery.
I put a drop on the nose and let them lick it up. As much as she will take,
twice a day. They usually don't take much at a sitting, 4-5 drops the most.
(I'm also more familiar with phelsuma. But vipers are close, no?)
Its hard, but they can come back even after showing such drastic symptoms as
dragging the hind legs. Keep up the good work and don't give up!
And a question for everyone out there-
Can't too much calcium also cause these symptoms?
Like shaking, loss of movement in the hind quarters, and spasms?
I'm certain I read of this before.
Anyone?
Jason
