Hello, I'm trying to figure out when impaction has occurred and when a vet visit is needed. Our beardie Errtu has been trying to brumate for the past 4 months but we've been preventing it because of his age at the time and just getting over a high parasite count. He eats very little now and has...

Hello, I think after all the trials and tribulations of owning a beardie that I am comfortable with my husbandry being correct. I'm seeing that loose substrate seems to be better for them especially joints, enrichment etc. What I've read over and over is 70% organic topsoil and 30% play sand...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could go over this bloodwork with me. It was taken by a regular vet who sometimes sees reptiles. I have discussed in length my beardie's issues in other posts but basically lethargy, almost constant orange urates, not eating dubias anymore and will only eat...

Hello, I have some concerns about my beardie. He is 7.5 months and 399g. He used to have an amazing apetite but now he barely eats and until a couple days ago was hiding or going on the dark side all day(i did discoverhis bask was only about 95° but that has been remedied). He recently was...

I'm concerned about my bearded dragon. He had 4+ Coccidia when we got him. We treated it and it went away first try. Somewhere along the line he got pinworms which we are treating now. My concern is that his urates have been orange since we got him they have not once been white. They seem darker...

Our beardie does have Coccidia. He is on the 2nd round of treatment but I've never seen it this orange/red before. What causes the orange urate? He has been eating more mealworms lately if it's something to do with digestion but temps and husbandry are just right. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know about Coccidia levels? We just brought our new beardie (2.5months old) in to test his and it came back with Coccidia +4 which the (regular) vet says is high. He's not ill We just brought it in because you are supposed to when getting them. Can a large meal of crickets raise the...

******Poop Warning****** Hello, our new beardie has what appears to be a small amount of blood in his urate. His fecal and urates have been a little solid and orange but this looks like blood. We lost out 1st beardie Shenron earlier this month to juvenile gout and we really can't go...

****Poop warning***** Hello, is orangish firm urate normal in a baby beardie? He's 2.5 months old. My last beardie who was my 2st beardie Shenron passed of gout at 7.5 months so I'm probably a little paranoid maybe but gotta ask. Thanks in advance!

The newest addition to our family arrived today. He's settling in great! He's a Red Hypo Trans. His birthday is March 6th.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing in giving your beardie spring water since it has a lot of calcium. Sounds like a good idea but not sure. It's not like they drink a lot but wouldn't it make sense to have that available for them instead of purified or distilled water wth zero...

Hello, my beardie recently passed and we are getting another but I am concerned that he may have had ADV as well. He passed from gout but he had neuro issues that the vet thought was from the gout in nervous system. We had asked about getting him tested for ADV but they said it was pointless...

Hello, we are looking for our 2nd beardie and we have our heart set one one we found but then I found out that Red Monsters are not a very healthy breed. The one we found is 1/2 Red Monster hypo normal scale. Our little guy passed from juvenile gout and other illnesses that he shouldn't have...

My beardie has been ill for a long time and I think today he has finally passed away. He is completely limp and did not react when I put my finger in his mouth. I just want to be 100% sure before I prepare him to be cremated. Thank you.

Hello, I've posted on here a few times now about my beardie with gout. We've decided for the moment that he is having good days and all of his labs came back good so we are no longer thinking of putting him down any time soon as long as he does not decline of course. Thos has me thinking of...

We took our beardie Shenron to the University of Illinois yesterday to confirm it was time to put him down. He has been very ill for a long time with gout among other things. The exotic vet agreed that he was not at all well and he ordered bloodwork. This morning we got the results and were...

I have been posting awhile about my sick beardie Shenron. He hasn't gotten any better and tonight when he was doing his gulping thing he does every minute or two I saw a black mass way back in his throat on top about the size of a pea. I'm pretty sure there's only one thing that can be 😪. He...

We took Shenron to the vet today and she's saying it's time to think about putting him down😔 She said there was no real point in testing him and that it still could be from the gout even. I'm realizing since she's a regular vet she isn't an expert in this stuff but I asked her Is he suffering...

Hello, if you've seen my past posts you've seen my beardie has been fighting gout. Now I'm afraid he has ADV because of these new neurological seeming symptoms. Can he survive after this or is it too late? I understand that if he's suffering it is only humane to do what needs done. Today was the...

Hello, my beardie has been doing this mouth breathing thing off and on for a week and I just noticed that his nostrils keep opening a little then completely closing. The vet thought the mouth thing he was doing was a pain response due to his gout. Please help!
