My beardie video:
https://youtu.be/vGhJpyiw9Ss
I’m new here and wanted to know if anyone has seen their beardie do what mine is doing in the video with their mouth? A month ago he quit drinking and eating. At first I thought he was going into brumation but he isn’t. He wants to drink but when he tries he does the tongue thing and shakes his head vigorously then tries to drink again and shakes his head until he gives up. Sometimes drool comes out and lately a little blood. By his left bottom teeth there is white pussy looking stuff and blood spots on his tongue inside. He also has a tiny bump on his right lip that is slowly growing. The vet has me tube feeding him 5cc of a prescription mixture of wet canned dog food and water to try to get him stronger since he is just wasting away. He also gave a shot of b vitamins. He ran tests which didn’t tell him much and did an x-ray and can’t find anything wrong or obstructed and he’s still pooping regularly. If anyone has seen this please let me know!!! My thought is rot mouth??
Age: 3 yrs old and got when he was a couple months
Set up:
120 gallon tank
Two desert 50 15 watt UV lighting tubes
Two dome lighting holders, one with 100 watt basking and one with 150 watt standard uvb
Eats organic produce only (mainly collard greens, dandelion greens or endive and blueberry or zucchini and super worms or Dubai roaches. Sprinkle calcium on food every day and have since he was a baby.
Normally a very good eater and active beardie, nothing has changed in the cage size or setup except I just changed the lights all a month ago. The uv lights were a year old, the others go out after about two months so need frequent replacing.
