Dr Folland believes Newt's not currently strong enough to hold up his own body. His Metabolic Bone Disease is severe.
They did a blood draw on him to test his blood calcium levels. He did NOT like the blood draw!
As I held him, every so often Newt would vibrate to remind me he was very unhappy. It was so adorable!
His calcium levels are normal (thanks to lots of supplements in the last 4 days) and so Newt got an injection of Calcitonin to help encourage his bones to re absorb the calcium.
Now we just wait. I will continue to force feed him twice a day and take him in the sun daily. I hope he's able to pull through.
