Low blood calcium

Hi all.

My 5 foot 8 years old male went to the vet last week. He dropped to about 50% of his weight in oly 1.5 weeks. It seemed that a infection in his mouth lead to so much pain that he stopped eating. Fortunately the mixture I now use for force feeding (the only way to get the food in) get's him back on weighed again (slowly, but surely) and the antibiotics are doing their job aswell.
But during the investigation a full blown blood research was done aswell, and basically everything was okay, except his blood calcium levels, the were a bit to low (not that much, but to low none the less).

Now I was wondering if this might be something I do wrong or if the 1.5 weeks of not eating had anything to do with it?
