Wes,  I believe I did give too much D3 now.  I started giving D3 to my colombian about three times a week.  I think she may be around four years of age.  she was a juvie when I purchased her and has been with me for three or so yrs now.

the first year I had her she ate nothing but rodents.  then she changed and started eating other meats and would turn away from any rodent.  during these times I never gave her any supplements at all; just UV and she was the classic colombian.  then I started reading alot of caresheets and I started with the D3.  here she is about three months later panting for air most of the time.  labored breathing.  she does have an appetite.  I have been feeding her small amounts throughout the day with a syringe.  when she eats a 'meal' on her own all at once she will start sticking her tongue out and thrashing her head and some of the food will fly out of her mouth.  I place her in the bath to feed her and she has been pooping alot of green stuff.  she still looks healthy she has a 'little' big belly and her tail is thick still.

so the only thing I did different with her was the D3.

what is the outcome of this do you think ?
