I agree with most of what you said, but this dragon did have a bowel movement, not impacted. I clearly said I agreed with you that vomiting and the soft stool would be digestive and that clearly came out with his temps being not hot enough, but not giving calcium supplements, and the feeding live foods every other day. Surely you can see from that that the calcium deficiency was playing a role in the twitching and rolling over. Can't you? I said to give calcium, and take it to a vet. Calcium 1 time since he owned the dragon would not cause a calcification. Actually that dragon really needed in his blood fast. Those seizures are no joke. I never would have suggested doing anything or even gave my 2 cents if I didn't know the sittuation. This same person two days before I was trieing to tell him to up the temps, and pretty much told him the pet store he bought from was not giving the right info. Never heard of feeding a baby every other day without calcium. Have you? I don't know I give calcium daily for babies every other meal, and adults every other day. I never had calcification. There blood work is always right were it sould be. Food for thought. I think you would have to give a cup of the stuff daily to be perfectly honest with you to cause what you say. ----- Mystical Dragons
