head tilted walking in circles

[adam.loomis]

Hello I have had three bearded dragons for a little over a month. Yesterday I noticed my middle sized one was walking in circles very lethargic and her head was cocked crooked she looks very uncomfortable and hurt will not eat. I have heard and read a few different things it seems like she's just off balance very worried

Are they in the same enclosure?

You should have her seen by a reptile vet, she could have fallen and got hurt.

I really hope all your dragons are in their own enclosures... If they are all together and she is sick there's a good chance that the other two will catch the same thing from her.. This is one of the main reasons you should never house reptiles together.

They are housed but I have it separated. They are about 2 months old. One is going to my sister tomorrow. I have an appt. Tomorrow at 3. Fingers crossed. If it is water in the ear usually how long till it evaporates. I heard this is a possibility.

I really don't have an answer but if it's water it shouldn't take that long to dry out, but glad your taking her in to the vet to be seen.

Glad you have a vet visit. You might want to hold up giving that one to your sister until you find out what is wrong with yours. Hopefully it's just water in the ear but it could be something more contagious.

I have three hers is good. The middle size of is I could certainly and that is mine. Seems to be making improvements. Ate 2 crickets

Just keep in mind if its something like the stargazing virus, it's highly contagious and takes a couple of weeks to show up. Even though the dragons themselves don't have contact they can still get it by using shared tools, giving one feeders the other one didn't eat, or even not washing your hands between handling.

I hope your dragon doesn't have this

What are some other symptoms of this

 

[PatsyB]

Glad you asked because it's the one important disease I didn't write up for this forum (i'm working on a list).

Here's a link that explains it: http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Rep...Disease-Can-Be-Deadly-To-Your-Bearded-Dragon/

I know someone that rescued a bearded dragon baby and brought it home and didn't know it had the disease and it passed it to her older dragon Both are still alive and they are trying to treat them but the baby is in bad shape.

After a day or 2 he started to come around. Seems to be doing well
