dgill 6 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 i went to the vet the other day with the pups for their injections when that was done the vet had a little look at them and said alls good but said they have a slight bit of rhicots and said feed them eggshells and it will go away. Is riocots anything to worry about? How else would i give them calcium other than eggshells? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Agree with Chesters post, need the right amount of calcium but it also needs vitamin D to work. If your vet suggested egg shells to treat Rickets then it's time to get a new vet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
