Hi,

I recently lost my beloved Elvis, suddenly. He would have been 5 yrs old in June.

The only thing the necropsy showed was 1 kidney had some calcification.

Temps and lights were great. He was always active. Suddenly blackbearded, wouldn't eat, and passed away.

Does anyone have any ideas why a kidney would calcify. He was 1 of 10 dragons, from the same breeder. 1 of the other dragons died of kidney disease at 3.

I wanted to upload a picture, but I don't know how.

Thank you

Emerald

Hello Ann,

I am so sorry you lost Elvis, good grief. :cry: Bless him. How old was he?
I am not really sure why one kidney would calcify while the other one didn't. Were his
calcium levels normal, or too high? Did they check his parathyroid gland?
Do you have a copy of the blood work?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
