Hi, my four year old bdragon was just diagnosed with bone cancer in one hind leg. The vet said she will not live to see next year. I am considering amputation to extend her life. Has anyone with a dragon had a limb amputated surgically because of cancer or a serious injury? Thanks.

Yes the diagnosis was made from an x-ray, which I don’t have in my possession. The x-ray was sent to a well known vet in The Cities and I have not heard back on his opinion. I also had it sent to a vet I have used in the past before I moved Up North last year. He agreed with the diagnosis. I will try to figure out how to post a picture of my girl’s swollel leg.

O.K, it's good to be sure + thorough about something so serious. And dragons with a missing limb generally have no problem at all, they carry on just as the did before with just slightly less mobility. :)

Bless you for your response. I would really appreciate it if you would share in a little more detail what experience you have had or know about with bdragons that have had amputations! Thanks again. V.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.
