I've heard in the past quite often to not give flyers
calcium supplements containing phosphorus because it
makes them get mean. Never did get the source of that
rumor. Here is a nice paragraph explaining the need
for it. Low phosphorous symptoms sound similar to
Metabolic Bone Disease sypmtoms. I suppose they are
connected somewhat because low Vitamin D can cause low
phosphorous levels.

Maintaining proper phosphorus levels in the blood

When vitamin D levels remain problematically low, the parathyroid gland becomes overactive, a condition known as hyperparathyroidism. PTH levels rise, and blood levels of phosphorus drop. Without adequate phosphorus, bone cannot be properly mineralized, which contributes to the defects seen in osteomalacia. In addition, the new bone cells being laid down by the osteoblasts (the cells that create new bone) absorb more water and swell, causing the bone pain associated with osteomalacia.
