i'm glad you decided to not give the gelcaps, btw ... at least find out more about them 1st ...

started thinking + remembered that Spike didn't have a very healthy lifestyle before meeting you ... (+ the "mom" in me is begging to be let out! eeeeeeeeeeek *grin*)

so ... just to remind you how important it is to have Spike checked for parasites/worms ASAP ... but also ...

have the vet do a blood test and check what the "serum calcium:phosphorus ratio" is ... it is VERY possible that Spike could need some calcium supplement for a while until his body is healthier ...

there IS such a thing as too much calcium tho and if at all possible, i'd have blood tests done 1st to find out where Spike's at right now and THEN decide ...

if Spike does need some extra calcium ~ use good ol' simple "TUMS" tablets ... in SMALL amounts tho! lemme know if you need any more "mom-opinions" ... *grins*

how're you + Spike doin' anyway????

Bon. + iZ
