    Swollen legs female beardie

    Hello, Which x-ray are we referring to? The x-ray from May 5th 2025 she has tons of eggs. The x-ray on May 26 2025 doesn't show eggs per say but some type of mineralization. When did she lay eggs, recently? They can lay clutches of eggs 5-6 weeks apart. She is doing pretty well now, active...

    Swollen legs female beardie

    Hello, Based on the x-rays, I see eggs! I am not sure though on the uric acid readings. They appear to be in range but I am not happy with the swelling on the arm/wrist area. How is that looking? Does the vet not see the eggs on the x-rays? Tracie

    convulsions

    Hello, OH no, I am so sorry to hear you lost your little one. That is such a devastating heartbreaking thing to go through. You did your best for him & he was not alone when he needed someone. It does sound like he may have had something going on initially possibly a birth defect, not sure...

    Bearded dragon, Diarrhea

    Hello, The primary thing needed is to do another fecal exam, to see if something was missed initially. Ok good. We do recommend not just automatically giving medication if no diagnosis has been given most of the time. There are always exceptions. Such as a general deworming is safe to do...

    Anyone recognize this beardie behavior?

    Hello, It appears he either has something possibly lodged in his throat or he aspirated some water in his bath. As far as feeders, I always err on the side of caution when it comes to the size being fed. They can choke or aspirate on insects that are too large. I prefer to feed slightly...

    Hello, That's great to hear he has been active & is starting to eat as well. Let us know how things are going & if you decide to get him in for surgery. We are all pulling for him. Tracie

    Hello, I am glad to hear he seems to be doing alright. As long as the infection gets treated & is taken care of, I don't see any reason why he can't recover. At least the sunshine perked him up, that's great! You can place some fleece blankets in & around the tank to keep it softer for him...

    convulsions

    Hello, Sorry your dragon is not doing well. Are you able to get one of the mentioned UVB lights/tube bulbs to help? How often are you using the calcium powder? I would consider getting some liquid calcium if you can, or are there any vets you could visit to get some prescribed? Since he is...

    Hello, I don't think he should be put down for just needing his tail amputated. If the infection can be remedied then he should be able to become healthy again. How is he doing? Tracie

    Infected leg… my parents aren’t keen on taking him back to the vet (URGENT)

    Hello, Poor thing that is probably painful for him. It looks like a femoral pore got infected. As suggested get some raw unpasteurized honey to put on it, or silver gel. If you can get some colloidal silver for him to take orally that would be good. Tracie

    URGENT Does my beardie have tail rot?

    Hello, I agree a vet visit is needed. I am glad you are getting her to the vet. She will need part of her tail amputated though unfortunately. Let us know how she is doing. Tracie

    Follow-up post. Need opinions (URGENT)

    Hello, Thanks, the Reptisun 10% T5 tube bulb is a great bulb so he should be getting plenty of UVB exposure. They may not have taken enough of the tail off. Does it appear it is infected perhaps? Did they give you any type of cream or ointment to put on it? At the moment, I would go ahead &...

    Swollen legs female beardie

    Hello, That's great she did lay eggs without any trouble! Bless her. When they don't feel 100% they may stop eating greens & just prefer protein. That will also happen with females getting ready to lay. Sometimes, calcium shots can cause organ failure if too much is given. It greatly...

    Swollen legs female beardie

    Hello, Bless her, she has had some stress, that is a lot of eggs! So did she lay them successfully now? I highly recommend a blood test for her if possible, to see where her uric acid levels are. Her arms are pretty swollen, & her back feet are a bit puffy. I disagree, you can clearly see...

    Follow-up post. Need opinions (URGENT)

    Hello, Sorry your dragon is having so much trouble. How much initially did they have to amputate the tail? What type & brand of UVB lighting do you use currently & how often do you give calcium for him? Has the vet mentioned that the infection has traveled through his body or is it still just...
