Vet said my Beardie has liver failure and an enlarged liver

[dcrowleyy]

Hi there. So my beardie hasn't been eating now for nearly 2 months. No food at all no live food or greens. I try him every single day and he just closes his eyes. The vet did a blood test/ x ray etc and he found out about the liver failure from blood and enlarged liver from the x ray. Is there anything that can be done to save my beardie? We have been giving him 1-2 baths a day with vitamins in the water as told by vet and we were giving him liquid food as suggested by vet but it's just baths now I will add a picture of him from the other night.

@Drache613 I understand you’re busy but if you could please give your opinion on my beardie I’d really appreciate it as I’m really worried about him.

Hello,

Yes, so sorry for the delay! I had this page up last night, but just ran out of time.
Can you post a copy of your blood test for me, so I can take a look at them. Is your dragon male,
correct? How old is he?
Please review your tank setup for us, such as the type/brand of UVB, temperatures, supplementation,
etc so we can be sure everything is correct. Is he able to move around on his own, & climb, etc?
Are you able to keep him a little warmer overnight, around 75-80F to help boost his system?
If he has liver issues, you can start him on a liquid milk thistle supplement, to help with overall liver
function.
What type of liquid diet is he on, a critical care or carnivore care diet?
If you happen to have a picture or copy of the x-ray too, that you could post, please go ahead & post
it here.
I will PM you here to give you my email, if you would also like to correspond that way.

Tracie
