Hey guys! 1st time posting. I have a major concern and unable to take to vet right now.
My beardie seems to be in current burmation where shes not eating at the moment and just basking under her heat lamp and moves around as she pleases and takes her naps. Her color is normal (meaning her beard isnt black as when shes anxious or upset).
I noticed a slight lump where her tail starts by her legs, I didnt think anything of it until I think back to when it first may have started. A week later it looks bruised and swollen. I tried gently touching it and Dragon jerked away and I havent tried since!
It's probably been a week or a week and a half since shes had this bump but now 5 days since theres a bruised color. I've already ordered a special product for it I'll try to get pictures attached.
I freaked out thinking it's an infection but theres no where in her terrarium to get a cut or stabbed. The more I think about it I have noticed her climb up her foam brick wall that's placed as the siding and when she cant climb up all the way she just falls. Is barely 5 or 6 inches from where she falls onto her plastic log/perch so I'm thinking it might be a bruise?!
I thought I was doing good by trying to bathe her everyday and soak her for 30 mins....maybe too much water?! I keep monitoring her when shes bathing so she doesnt drown herself. I've stopped since I've read that its only recomend to bathe her once a week. I keep her enclosure clean! If she poops I take out her towels and wash! If she poops I shower her! She hasnt pooped cuz shes not eating this past 2 weeks. I'm only glad that she isnt eating much because I'm sure that must be too tender to apply any pressure while shes trying to have to go.
I'm waiting on the spray to come in by tonight!
