My bearded dragon seems to have not been feeling well for quite some time. He had only been pooping every few weeks and I started to get worried. I gave him a bath and stroked his belly and he pooped quite a bit, but then went 5 more days without doing it so we took him to a vet and she took an x-ray and there was a tiny piece of metal in his system. The blood work showed it wasn't affecting his organs, although she also noticed that he's anemic and dehydrated. Additionally, he's constipated. She gave us a syringe which contains laxatives and gave that to him. Later we took him home and he seemed a bit better and even pooped a little bit. The next morning, he was back to being lethargic and he just sat in the corner all day, not under his basking spot. I came home later that day and he was still there. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?? I'm really worried...
- His basking spot is usually around 110 - 120 degrees Farenheit
- I feed him every 3 or 4 days, either with collard greens, apples, carrots, or crickets
- I put calcium and vitamins on his food
- I spray him with water twice a day
- I change the UVB bulb every 6 months, it's a 10.0
- The tank is about 40 gallons
- The floor is made of zoo med green carpet lining
- He is 6 years old
So yeah, any help would be much appreciated.
