Hey all, so i'm at my wit's end. I have no idea what is plaguing my beardie Felix. He is a family pet, about 3 years old now. About a month ago we noticed that he was eating less and blackbearding, so we took him to the vet. They tested his fecal and didnt find any parasites and said the issue was he wasnt getting enough calcium on his crickets, so we were given liquid calc to give him. His temps are good, and he uses a Reptisun 10.0 tube that was changed three weeks ago. He also gave an antiprotozoan just in case to give for five days. At first, he was getting better and eating more. It lasted only a few weeks, and now he has lost weight extremely suddenly, I can see his hip bones. In the past two days he's started to blackbeard constantly again and just lays still in the bottom of the tank. I thought he had passed away until i picked up up and he moved.
I am hoping to get him to the vet asap, its just very frustrating because the only herp vet around is very expensive and they didnt bother testing him much the first time. It just hurts me to see him in unnecessary pain.
I wanted to post here to see if anyone could have any idea of the causes for this?
Thank you all.
