Dave,
My dog has low calcium as well and been on raw her whole life. Just up
the ante on the bone, and when you feed her eggs try adding 3-4 tsps
eggshell powder to it... Which is more than just one eggshell. Do this
everyday. Also, just buy a high quality calcium supplement (for humans
is fine, it's all the same and probably higher quality.) that has no
"oxides" in it. Good luck!
