Just had the blood test back, she has a normal level of Uric acid so it isn't gout. I have to now get X-rays done. From the blood sample it suggested high calcium levels in the blood which indicates that she is pregnant. I'll keep coming with updates if anyone is interested.
What are the products you use? Are they rep cal, I'm desperate to get this right for the future!
I'll start dusting phosphorus free calcium powder most feeds, phophurus free calcium with d3 twice a month and twice a month with vitamin powder without d3.
