Ember is my 18 month old bearded dragon. For the past two weeks now she has trouble with balance. Over compensating when turning her head. Almost falling over. At first I thought it was dehydration. then calcium. Nothing worked after a few days. Thought maybe an ear infection. So we went to an exotic vet near me. We had blood work done and a physical. 500 grams 18 inches long. Calcium was a bit high but this was probably due to calcium given to her two days in a row. The vet gave me lactose milk thistle and i am giving her .25ml a day for the next 30 days. In case her liver is damaged and it may not show up was the vet's reason. Its been 7 days now. Before we went she was eating, basking and still being herself. Now i pull her out from under her hide i made her. I give her the meds. then she eats a bit and goes back under and hides. She looks sad or lethargic. Just lays on her pillow. I put her in the basking spot if she eats and she just goes back to her hide. She has tried to tip over on me twice. She just has not been herself and i dont know what to do. The male i have in the other enclosure eats the same. same setup same temps. 80/108 in basking
Vet also said it could be the "trans wobble."
Her Diet.
Kale mostly because she picks around everything else. bell peppers, dandelion greens. wont touch fruits. Dubia mostly with a few silkworms or BSFL. dusted with vitamins and calcium. UVB replaced every six months. tank cleaned with f10 sc. papertowels as substrate. enclosures are 4x2x2.
Please help. I'm at the point were i think she could be suffering but i'm not experienced enough to make that call
