Hey everyone,
My name is David and I have owned this Beardie for about 11 years now. She’s always been in great health for those 11 years but recently she’s been acting very ill.
It started abound 5 days ago, she was shedding and very grumpy. I did notice she was doing more eye bulging than usual so that caught my attention. A few days later, when I turned on her terrarium she was almost unresponsive, barely moving and her eyes were very squinty. I realized her eyes were white colored not like her usual brown color so I called up my local beardie vet and took her in.
The Doctor ran tests and told me she is healthy overall but did have mucus in her mouth and eyes so they prescribed her two doses of medicine.
1. Eye and nostril droplets (Gentocin Ophthalmic Solution)
2. Flagyl Susp (Chk) 100 mg
Today is the second day, she’s had 2 doses of each but she seems worse. Her eyes barely move when touched and she isn’t moving at all, her head is the only part of her body that seems to be stable and moving. Once in a while she’ll lick her lips at the medicine.
If anyone has any information or advice on what else I can do please help! I’ve never seen her ill before and I feel so helpless.
