Yes, she has! And I have been remiss in not letting you know how much I like it. :D It is called Cal-D-Solve, you can sprinkle it on soft food or dissolve it in the drinking water, and it contains calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D3. It is made by Avitech, another good company.

Oh, well good! If Sally ever needs to get more and it's not available where she lives, let me know.

We had heard that someone one was making a powdered calcium with vitamin D3, but have not been able to find anyone we know that could remember the name of it. I'll have to do some research in finding the source. I have often thought that powdered versions of this would be a good thing. Thanks for posting the name Sally.

I apologize Pukasand if I've hijacked your post about the lighting.

I'll do some research on Calcivet and Cal-D-Solve.

Maybe I should post another topic.

BillD,
Not a problem for the info on the Vitamin D... I'm interested also. It's fine here unless you'd rather have others see it on it's own. It's something I need to invest in.
