BTW I HIGHLY recommend you have the injectable on hand! It's vet Rx, but works faster and is easier to administer.
Where do you get the injectable? I just checked jeffers and hoeggers and they don't have it...

Minerals won't do a thing for late gestational hypocalcaemic issues...has to do with feed intake and the demands of the fetuses as they pack it on right before birth.

Okay now...Time for 50 questions. Number 1- What is hypocalcemia and what causes it?

The fact that she's weak really worries me. I've had does go hypo before, and maybe go a little off grain (which prompted me to give CMPK) but never had one get wobbly or have trouble getting up/falling down.
