There's no reason for you to be panic, and just because something is rare doesn't mean it's life threatening. The point is your vet is testing and taking blood levels and keeping ahead of the whole thing. If the low calcium levels were caused by the diarrhea, as a result of getting something from digging in the compost, he may not even have hyperparathyroidism. It sounds like she wants to monitor the calcium levels and go from there. She is aware of the dog digging in compost isn't she?

I don't think dwerten is saying that she thinks your dog has lymphangiecstasia.
