Feeding anything raw poultry has a good risk of give it salmonella. This is one of the main reason people cook poultry. Healthy adults and most likely reptiles can get salmonella, fight it off and never know it.
Giving a reptile supplements is just like giving people supplements. If you feed them a proper diet they should not need anything else. As far as overdosing on calcium, I do not think you have to worry. If you follow the instructions, the risk of overdosing is very low.
Yes, the vet is kind of right.
