[BeardedDragonFranky]

I have a 4 month old bearded dragon that I've been taking care of but he recently got pin worms and he can't use his rear legs. He is having trouble walking and I dont know what to do. I'm thinking he may do better with someone with more experience. I tried helping him but I hate seeing him like this when I feel like he can do better with someone else. I'm clueless on what to do. So does anyone know a rehab in the US I can take him too? Preferably closer to NY

Did the vet do a enema? More info please -- is he still on meds for the pinworms? What kind brand and bulb UVB are you using? Coil or a tube? Where in the tank is it -- basking temps what are they and how are you taking them ? Please post a pic of the tank and the dragon and lighting

I dont know what he did. I just know they took him in the back and gave him a shot. I recently bought horse de-wormer and give him very little. I don't know if the pin worms are making him very weak and affecting his walking or if it's because he fell. I'm using a sunglo uvb and uva, I forget the watt but I bought it at a well experienced reptile store so I know it's a good one. His basking temp are around 90 to 100. But he doesn't really like to bask, he hides under the bark I bought him. I'm taking the temps through the picture shown. I give him electrolytes bath as well. I just dont know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried almost everything. I even bought him a smaller tank as shown since he's not moving. He was in a 40 gallon but he would just stay in one place.

Ok no more horse de wormer!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Sunglo please take it back --- if you can but that MVB is not a good one----- exchange it for a regular basking bulb
Exo Terra® Intense Basking Spot Light | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart look for that or this one Zoo Med Reptile Value Pack Basking Spot Lamp | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart
if your going to keep him in the smaller tank get a 75 watt start there but you MUST have the digital probe thermometers Zoo Med Reptile Terrarium Digital Thermometer | reptile Humidity & Temperature Control | PetSmart what your using now are only giving you ambient temps you want surface basking temps place the probe on the spot where he sits to bask wait 10 min or so get the temp 105-110 is what you want he looks to be about 3-4 months old -- if the surface basking temp is not what I posted you may haft to get a higher wattage but you dont want to burn him up in that small tank -- I am assuming its a 20 gallon? Next please get this for a UVB look for a Zoo Med 24" fixture its going to look like this but you want the 24" fixture if they have it Zoo Med ReptiSun Reptile Terrarium Hood | reptile Light Fixtures | PetSmart
NO Zillas NO Thrive fixtures -- the Zoo Med will come w/ a 5.0 bulb that would be good for the 20 gallon tank ONLY if you go back to the 40 gallon your going to need this bulb 22" for the 24" fixture Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Reptile Lamp | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart
these things I just posted are crucial to his health -- if they did a enema on the dragon its possible they have paralyzed him --- but we need to rule out lighting for now and MBD --- I am thinking its a enema that has caused the damage I pray not OR you have fed too big of an insect--- what are you feeding and how big are they --- please post a pic of the dragon and the insect next to his head --- we need to rule that out as the cause --- if you need more help while at the store please post on here and I will watch for your postings but you need to get this taken care of now
