It matters little how much you dust their food, or what Vitamin/Calcium supplement you use. I am not saying this is true with your Tegu. Have you been dusting his food before this started? _________________ www.tegu.com and www.Varnyard-herps-inc.com Back to top shadow Member Joined: Oct 25, 2005 Posts: 36 Location: atlanta,georgia Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 4:34 pm    Post subject: tegu yes the vet gave me neocalglucon calcium supplament Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Health Issues All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
