In my experience deficientcys such as vD3 are non reversable. Thats not to say the indevidual cant live out a happy life but if damage has been done it will stay that way. Is there any noticable swelling in the lower jaw or limbs? I dont recal shedding or lack there of being a sign of this so I would not worry but you will need to provide a full spectrum light, I use reptisun lights, as well as a vitamin powder. I curently use ZOO MED'S Reptivite and am very happy with it. Its my understanding that you should chose a supliment with at least a 2/1 ratio of Calcium and Phosphorus. I am told more than 1 part Phosphorus per 2 parts Calcium can actualy interfear with D3 synthisis. The above is my oppinion and the way I have done it for years and still do it. The info is tryed and trued however if anyone ells has anything to ad please do so.
