Rickiesmom Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Does anyone know why it's being so stubborn? Is it too risky to give him a calcium binder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's a balance between the calcium and calcitriol. Too low calcium and he can go into seizures. Too high and it'll wipe out his kidneys. To little of calcium -- the calcitriol won't work. Too high of calcium intake and the calcitriol becomes dangerous. I really don't like getting medical knowledge this way.....expensive, frustrating and nerve racking Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 He didn't eat yesterday and wouldn't touch yogurt this morning. He did lick the gravy from 1/2 can of IAMs and ate two pb biscuits..... He wasn't around when I left for work -- couldn't figure where he went. It dawned on me on the way to work he was probably hiding -- being inconspicuous until I left and I was right. Rosemary said he was back in the family room, roaching. He does not want to go back to the vet. Tomorrow he has to Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Calcium STILL high! Stopping the tums and cutting back on the calcitriol.

Burpdog Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 If I don't have a breakdown over this I never will have one. He got a B12 shot yesterday and still not eating well. Time to check his thyroid. I don't think he's on enough but it's been in the background because the calcium is more important. He'll get adjusted and needled on Friday after his blood work.
