Ionized calcium is the biologically active form of calcium. It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium status than total calcium, especially in reptiles with abnormal protein levels.
Low ionized calcium indicates true calcium deficiency regardless of total calcium levels. This confirms metabolic bone disease risk, usually from inadequate UVB or dietary calcium. It can cause muscle tremors, weakness, and seizures.
Immediate veterinary attention is needed. UVB lighting, calcium supplementation, and dietary correction are essential.

No action needed.
Reptile ionized calcium: 1.3 mmol/LHigh ionized calcium can result from over-supplementation, egg-laying, or certain neoplasms. It is less common than hypocalcemia in reptiles.
Review supplementation practices with your veterinarian. Persistent elevation may require further investigation.
