Hello there,
I need some advice and please try not to scare me to death because I'm already a wreck about my little guy.
A couple days ago my beardie Godzilla slowly started losing his appetite. And becoming lazier and lazier. I have a nanny cam and he would sit there and every once in awhile do this weird legs stretch, front and back legs. And then the next day it seemed like he could barely drag himself around. Both front and back legs seem weak. And he wont eat. So I'm freaking out. But fear not. I take him to the vet! Right away. And they do an xray and general exam and his bones and tummy look healthy. His UV bulb is a nice zoo med one that's only like 5 months old. I feed endive and collard greens and roaches and crickets and dust them with calcium and I obsess over my beardies haha. They say his lungs look a little fuzzy. And they say he has pneumonia and to keep him warm and give him antibiotics. And so I've given him 2 doses now. And this morning I mixed some butternut squash baby food and pedialyte and calcium powder up and kind of drip fed him from a syringe. He licked it off the tip of the syringe I didnt force it down his throat. He just lays there and sleeps all day. And he like army crawls his way anywhere. Like swims on the carpet almost. He doesn't want to lay under his basking bulb. He always moves to the cooler side of the tank. At the vets suggestion with this information he told me to lower the temp a little to 90 on the hot side. I'm just so worried. Has anyone else had a similar experience??
