Calcium Glubionate Help/Rant

[Apex Peacher]

Hello! Seeking some assistance with obtaining “affordable” calcium glubionate for my ducks. I have two girls who are susceptible to peritonitis and require a regimen of antibiotics/anti-inflammatories and my vet wants them both on calcium glubionate twice a day. I am located in central Texas and I am not sure if it is just my location, but calcium glubionate costs a small fortune. By this I mean I got a 30 day supply and it cost me $330. My question is where do poultry owners buy their calcium glubionate?

Thanks in advance.

Won't calcium carbonate, or calcium citrate, do? Both are readily available and cheap. If a chicken give shell-less eggs I give calcium citrate in the form of calcium citrate +D3 (Citracal or its generic equivalent), available OTC at any outlet that sells vitamins or supplements for humans. One a day for 5 to 7 days usually solves the problem, don't know about ducks.

@Miss Lydia would know.
