Bearded in desperate need of help!!

Not sure how much time you have but if you look up on this forum “Possible parasites, Cannot go to vet, need home remedies” the guys response about asking yourself two question about your bearded both of my answers were yes. In addition he went on to describe the characteristics of a parasitic bearded like avoiding lights, sleeping more and loss of appetite and that is all things she is doing. NEVER basking ever. So maybe parasites? I will make the changes you suggested and if no change I will take her to the vet for a fecal sample. I thank you so much for all your help and quick responses I’m sure my bearded will appreciate
it and you very much.

NO ENEMAS at the vet --- take a fecal in for testing --- Enemas often in end disaster for the dragon

After you make the adjustments please watch her behavior --- keep us posted please

I will definitely take a sample to the vet. I will also keep you updated after the changes are in place for a week so it is long enough to see a change..

Hello,

Let us know how the vet visit goes. A fecal exam would definitely be helpful in determining
what could be going on.
Hopefully with lighting changes, she will start to improve. It does take time for them to recover
if it is worms or parasites.

UPDATE 8-11-2021: She is better! She now is awake in her cage during the day most of the time and just lays around. Ate a little bit of Repashy today along with two superworms. She is walking completely normal and even lifting herself off the floor. She is still more active outside but what beardy is not. I am sure with more time she will get even better.
Changes that were made were the following; raising a heat lamp over her cage to keep the hot side at 90-101 and cold side at about 82-84. As well as replacing her UVB bulb which was only done yesterday morning. Her UVB bulb was also moved under the screening instead of over. All this and she is pretty good now, perhaps she is just a chill beardy who enjoys slow moving food, the outdoors and lounging around. I will update again in a week.

Thanks for the update and Iam glad shes doing better --- I would still increase the basking temps to 95-100 -- if she has a piece of decor that offers the different gradient heat that is great --- as long as she can get to spots warmer than the 90 your good -- what did you replace the UVB bulb w/ ? Another T 5 ?

I will do that right now. Another T5 10.0 UVB ZooMed.

Ok good and you got it properly placed w/ distance?

Yes I did. Now she actually hangs out on her hammock.

Another update: the black solider fly larvae are here and shocker she didn’t eat. We’ve tried now super worms, black solider fly, crickets, dubias, wax worms and repashy. She only likes the super worms which aren’t good for her and the repashy she barely eats any and it takes a solid hour to get her to eat it. Maybe at this point just letting her go without eating (starve) for a couple of days and hopefully then she will eat. We’re losing hope at this point, we’ve done all we can so at this point we’re not sure what to do. Also it is not parasites. Thank you all for your help.

Post a pic of her and the tank please--
