I put this in a separate post so that each thread has a specific topic.
Aphrodite has something very wrong with her. I only got her tonight, so I haven't had her very long to observe, but the previous owner warned me about it as well. Here are the things she does that are out of character.
1. She shakes her head randomly in a funny way. I'm not sure if it's a tremor or seizure or what.
2. Her vision is off. If you hold food up in front of her and she looks at it, she holds her head in a funny way that would make you think she's not looking at it, but it's clear that she is.
3. Her aim is off. She tries to get food and misses. Almost like her depth perception is off. She stops short of reaching the target. Tonight she bit my finger on accident trying to get food.
Previous owners told me she basically only ate veggies because she just couldn't get the crickets. She's approximately 1.5 years old.
Would all of this be a sign of a neuro issue? Are there common beardie neuro issues? What will the vet want to do. Has anyone here ever had any experience with this before?
Thanks in advance!
