Record keeping for Ryker's eye recovery

[Andee]

So I have changed some things as far as supplementation for Ryker. Since he is now spending 4-5 hours AT LEAST, every day outside, he is no longer taking any form of supplemental D3. I will be getting a powdered Reptivite without D3 added. I also will be providing his usual liquid calcium once I flush his system a bit (for about half a week or a week) to make sure he is where he needs to be and not overdosed. (though he isn't showing gular edema signs, he may be showing other signs of hypervitaminosis in D form) So he's not getting any supplements at the moment other than good feeders of course. So right now just breathing and crossing fingers

I will take one tomorrow. He will be settling down soon due to sun going down and him being moved inside. I will make sure to take various ones while he is in the sun. You can see random swelling and light curving at his ankles, and I have been doing liquid calcium for a while now, now I am wondering how much of it is based on him being overdosed with supplemental D3 while he is making plenty of his own?

It's not good to overdo the D3 from supplements....for sure.
Looking forward to the photos.

Hoping it's not done too much damage and I can reverse it. We shall see, and tomorrow I would love to see your opinion. I will be taking him into our exotic vet soon because he needs to have an eye flushed, he is in the middle of a major shed and as soon as something irritates his bad eye I cannot get him to rinse it well or even lubricate it enough to get it open So I am assuming, even with regular 2-3 times a day showers and lots of mistings, I think he got a shed stuck in his eye. Which means we have to do our maintenance eye flushing. Might talk to Dr. Choy about possible blood testing if she thinks it'd be a good idea. I kind of would like to know his levels right now.

OK.
