    low calcium levels and chronic diarrhea

    I'll have to get a copy on Friday of Xerxes blood work and post it but the vet said that Xerxes is on the lower end of the normal range of his calcium levels. His levels were at a 12 I think she said the range was 7-50. I've been giving him the liquid calcium 5 days a week since I took him in...

    California Rescues?

    I have a dragon that I took in today that I can't keep. He is going to need vet care but I would like to make sure he goes to a rescue or experienced keeper that will really take care of him. If I can't find him a home here then I will place with one of the rescues close to me. This guy is...

    feel like a first time beardie parent but I have to ask

    Do any of you have experience with black poo? My previous dragon had dark brown poo but never black. Kratos has had black poo for the last two days and when I say black I mean charcoal black. I guess it throughs me off because I know that black can mean blood in stools when is comes to humans...

    Boy oh boy do I have a picky eater

    It seems our Kratos is a picky boy.....please tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel haha. He eats roaches as his staple but lately it seems like he's tired of them. I try to spice things up with other feeders but the only ones he wants anything to do with are supers and wax worms. I...

    hard urates pushing the fluids not getting better

    I'm really becoming frustrated. Kratos was treated for parasites with panacur and ponazuril in Sept. I can't get his urates to soften up since then. I may get one or two days of soft urates but otherwise they are gritty or a hard. His urates are soft if he poos every day otherwise they are...

    Slate tile chipping!

    Well I love our tile except for the fact it keeps chipping. I have found a couple of small bits in Kratos' enclosure which bothers me. I worry that he may ingest it. Do you have issues with your slate chipping?

    I think we need a silkback forum what about you??

    I think with all the silkies out there we need a forum dedicated just to silkbacks! I see questions quite often asking what their needs are. I think it could be a good spot for current owners of silks and people who are preparing to bring one into their home. What do you all think?

    Liquid calcium

    Should I try some liquid calcium? Kratos is 7mons, ever since giving the Ponazuril and panacur his urates have been semi hard and grainy. He goes in Mon to the vet to try and figure this out. I give lots of oral fluids and he gets baths. His stools usually have a bit of extra water around them...

    lab results are in

    So I got our lab results back today and it said >30 pinworm >30 coccidia at first I was wondering if it was a 3+ because I've only ever seen 1+ through 4 ever mentioned. Then I did a search on here and someone said it was a 30+ count but I can't find that info anywhere else. What do these...

    Kratos update

    We got our little man Sept 10th he weighed 148grams and was 14 3/4 in length. I think I measured his squirmy butt wrong or he hasn't grown anymore in length yet.  His hatch date was approximately April 9th. He has settled in nicely with us and is eating like a piggy. He chows down about 70-80...
