Thanks, Steve and everyone...even the poo eater *shiver*.



After I gathered somne more intel, (speaking of which) we figured out that he wassn't pooping half as much as he needed to, and his last poop was 3-4 days ago, and apperantly is was really really hard. So we told them to start soaking him in warm

water a couple of times a day. Sure enough, on the 3rd soaking, he pooped out a HUGE, hard poop. Imediately his back and leg were looking better. They're still soaking lots, and he's almost back to normal.



Thanks everyone!

Jeni

>>Sorry to hear about your dragon. I think you should have them bring him to the vet for an x-ray. Injury seems most likely to me. I don't think too much calcium is an issue, but of course anything in extreme amounts could be problematic. I dust all my dragons live meals with calcium and have never had a problem. I've heard people here say that too much D3 could be a problem, but have never heard of any case of this either.
