Oh wow, I had no idea you could do testing by mail! I just checked out the website, some of the pages don't seem to be working- they are blank including the fecal testing page.

Yea they are in the works it looks you can also go to the facebook page too..

I found another mail order reptile fecal test website... http://www.beardeddragon.co/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=461

What are your thoughts on it?

Yep they are also good that's where I get supplies and I know others do as well..

I was always told the feces had to be fresh not over 24 hours old. The feces will show different readings if it's older then 24 hours. So I'm not sure how the mail in one works.

My personal opinion is get her to the herp vet if you have never taken her. My Wally has been 2 times just in 3 months but he was also sick with pinworms.

Really depends on what is being looked for but the big ones that cause alot of issues are found still when going 2 day mail.. Most beardies have some pinworms already in their bellies its when they are stressed and already ill that's when the pinworms get out of control causing issues and needing meds.

She has no problem with powders, I was just curious. There is a vet that I took my parakeet to a few years back and my iguana to years and years ago. This is where I will take her, and they have an info page on diseases... I think she may have MBD

powders are the better of the options..typical ones are a multivit powder this should have D3 in it, calcium without D3, bee pollen, probiotic. I also have on hand and dust with dandelion powder and alfalfa powder.

good news... Today Cinnamon pooped and the white urate was soft and it all did not smell as badly as in the past. She seems more chipper too. Yay!

 

[mxw0rld]

How is the gulping? And leg twitch?

Still gulping and occasional leg twitch.

UPDATE ON CINNAMON. My mother watched her while we were on vacation for a week and she stayed the same in symptoms. Not much eating, pooped once, very lazy, leg twitches and gulping. This morning she had 3 (what looked like) seizures within 30 minutes and we rushed her to the vet. When she had the seizures, her body contorted to the right side. It was hard to watch, my daughter burst out in tears. The would only last about 30 seconds then she would go back to normal and close her eyes. The poor thing. My heart broke.

The doc is a herb doc and has owned his own beardies. He had pictures of them on his wall. This made me feel good. He examined her and with all the details I gave him he said it is definitely calcium deficiency. He said she is in good body shape, her tail is still nice and fat. He said that her body needed more calcium for her reproductive organs. The gulping and twitching was from the calcium deficiency. He gave her a Vitamin A & D injection and some Neo-Calglucon syrup we give her 2x daily. He said her tank setup and temps were good and to take away the mesh that the lights sit on so there is no interference between them and her. He also said to get her out in the sun for at least 20 minutes per day and limit her stress level and we should see an improvement.

Awe that has to be hard to watch for sure... Glad you got her in and got a dx! That is way easy to fix! lots of items that you can feed to increase that! and yea good access to the UVB and heat to synthesize calcium from the food is key..

Update on Cinnamon.
Things are not good. In the past week since her doc visit, she has gone downhill. She stopped eating. She has gradually lessened using her front legs and can't walk normally. The doc says all we can do at this point is keep her comfortable and try to force feed her some Ensure or baby food and keep getting her out in the sun. Our hearts are breaking.
