Absorption of nutrients is extremely variable, and a huge indicator
of the function of the entire body. I'd look for troubles in any
animal who cannot maintain healthy levels on a prototypically
appropriate diet. Pouring more calcium at the problem is not
necessarily even a temporary fix, while supplementing a full spectrum
of concomitant factors may help. Of course I would recommend a look
for chronic disease symptoms by a well-trained classical homeopath,
but I would also start supplementing with a natural, broad-spectrum,
metabolically accessible mineral supplement such as Animinerals, from
sea water and completely similar to our normal blood proportions. I
think the chances are good that the problem is not so much the
calcium as the body's inability to utilize it, either because other
factors are not present, or the mechanism is not functioning,or both.
