And she just threw up. :(

Well she's had her first meal, 2 ml and first dose of antibiotic, 0.2 ml. She seemed to enjoy the food but I could tell she hated the meds. Poor baby.

Back from the vet. They are going to check for parasites and the vet found a painful lump in Sammy's mid ceolomic cavity. I have to give her baytril every 24 hrs and make a slurry of a/d critical care pet food, given every eight hours.

Thanks!

Nope that wasn't it. Her and her poo are going to the vet tomorrow. I also just found a small, clearish worm in her poo 30 minutes ago. Makes me think she has tapeworms. I just hope she can handle treatment.

I think I know what is wrong! Today I discovered that her heat light isn't that hot anymore and when I put my hand on her back her skin was practically cool. So it could be she is not eating because she's not hot enough. I'm going to get her a new heat light today and see if that helps.

Her urates have been just a little bit of white combined with a small amount of tannish stuff that looks like baby food. So far she hasn't moved under her heat lamp to bask yet today which is something she usually does as soon as the heat light comes on. Maybe it is the beginning of brumation...

Hey cooper is my maiden name! Lol. Thanks for the reply.

Not yet. I was hoping she'd snap out of it but with the weight loss I think waiting is over. It also crossed my mind that given her age she could be dying. I really hope not.

My beardie Sammy is just about 5 years old and she was fine up until about a week ago. Sammy is refusing food, greens and insects but is still drinking water, in fact seems thirsty all the time. At first I thought she might be going into brumation because she did at this time last year but she...

Sammy was just laying her third clutch of infertile eggs this year and at one point she stopped and didn't do anything. My husband looked underneath her and noticed an egg that she laid was hanging by something still stuck inside! While he was holding the egg she wiggled her rear and this other...

Ahh okay. Thanks

Would it be safe to give Sammy a little taste? I know she shouldn't have it all the time or probably not even occasionally but would a rare taste do any harm?

Well she does it every time she is gravid. She just laid 30 infertile eggs a month ago and now she's gravid again. She's been digging and scratching for two days now. Usually when she starts this she lays in 3 or four days but in the mean time she just digs haphazardly in her lay bin. I've read...

Whenever Sammy is gravid and I put her in the lay bin she'll start digging at the shallow end where there is hardly any sand. haha Then she'll find the deeper sand and start digging there but then she'll go back to the shallow end. This goes on for awhile until she gets situated and starts...
