GET A VET

[richard]

i realize vets can be very expensive however, you must as a responsible pet owner provide proper medical care for your.......yes, BEARDED DRAGONS. a lot of people dont have dogs or cats because they dont want the costs that go along with them. beardies are no different. i've got some that have never been sick and i have a few that are in the thousand dollar club. before you take on a bearded dragon, check to see if you have a reputible EXOTIC VET near you. most dragons only need an initial exam, deworming and anti parasitics and then semi annual or annual fecal floats. save yourself the headache and heartache and make your little freinds healthy and happy. good luck!

Maybe we should compile a list of beardie friendly vets like tortoise forum has.

I think that is a great Idea and then you should sticky it in the health section.

I wish we had a good herp vet in our area. I goto the same one the zoo takes there herps to but im not impressed. Most of the time i know as much as they do so they charge me for things i can look up online. Even the herps enclosures at the zoo are not set up correctly its kinda sad.
