A question is far from a fight, and to tell you the truth I'm not the fighting type All I can say is I help people with problems I have experience with. Yes, I have dealt with calcium deficiency quite a few times. Once in one of my animals a uromastyx 2 years ago, and few times at the rescue. The first thing that caught my attention and coming up with calcium deficiency is the twitching, and flipping over backwards. This is a classic sign of deficiency. This symptom by itself would have made me come to my conclusion. Calcium deficiency has devastating effects on the body, these coupled with improper temps, diet heavy in live foods without supplements of calcium sure will cause it fast. The vomiting can be from the acid in the stomach not for sure but when calcium is low acid levels in our fluids go up. This and the improper temps under 100 can cause the dragon not to digest. Acid and undigested food sitting in the stomach would make me hurl for sure. The runny stools God know why that was like that. Food disagreement, the acid and undigested food, parasites, so many things can cause that there is just no telling for sure. I did tell him though to get that dragon to a vet cause we could not properly diagnose his dragon over the forum, and to become a vet I need another 8 years of school so I'm not qualified. I'm almost positive from what came out in that post that calcium levels were not right in that dragon. The vet would be able to give fluids and calcium, and get them right into the blood stream. Hope this cleared things up a bit for you.
