Past 2 days Lizzy has woken up and basked all on her own. I’m trying not to get to excited because every now and then she will bask a few days before going back to sleep. But we will see. Fingers crossed she makes it a week of regular basking. But unfortunately her eating hasn’t improved. She...

She is still asleep and has not moved from her spot. I’m off today so I was thinking about Cleaning her cage real good with chlorihexadine (sp?) solution diluted. One thing I am failing on is a humidity gage. When I moved I lost my digital gage. So I’m picking that up today. I’m just so upset...

I use a temp labor gun and it’s at 102 degrees in basking and she has dark tiles. I don’t think bumping her temps any higher will be a good idea due to potential burns. The issue is she has not wanted to bask at all since last summer basically. And now brumation season

I will try to upgrade to a T5 bulb. I have only had her for a year so I’m not sure if she ever laid eggs. She was really malnourished when I got her. She gets calcium 2-3 weeks with her super worms. She is not on multivitamins but I most certainly will start her on some. She has slepted the past...

I have a beardie who will not stop sleeping. She is awake 2-3 days a week and will not eat much. She will eat her live prey and a few pieces of her veggies. She is 5 years old. Her enclosure is a 2 tier tank. Her basking platform is 12 inches from her uvb light and temps on her basking platform...

Thank you. My dad spent months researching and building my enclosure. Yes she has pretty bad knees but she gets around pretty well. I put a ramp over her steps to make it easier to get up and down. when she is being a normal dragon she will go up and down her ramp. Or climber her log and bask...

My bearded dragon has been so back and forth. 1 week she will sleep, not eat and avoids all lights. Another week she is running around basking and eating. She hasn’t lost any weight and She has had 4 sets of x rays and only thing found is arthritis in both of her back knees. She had a ultra...

She started eating yesterday. She has been without pain meds for a week. So I’m guessing the pain meds are the problem. So I will give it as needed. Temps are around 90-95 degrees basking to 80 on cool side. I just did the 6 month change yesterday to reptisun 10.0. She still has problems getting...

Well unfortunately her doctor verified that the egg was a pinworm. And because there was only 1 egg in the slide she is not worried. So we are back to the beginning of having no idea what is wrong. She is eating her live prey really well. But she has hardly any interest in veggies. I can get her...

So my rescue has been threw the ringer and back. We found out she has arthritis in both knees and she has been on 2 different pain relievers but still is not eating and now avoiding her lights. Luckily I work at a animal hospital with a great exotic vet and a tech who has worked with bearded...

I have decided to wait out 2-3 weeks to see if any of her pain medications show improvement along with long baths so she can move her legs with out as much pain. If I see some improvement then I will continue. But if she shows no improvement or gets worse I’m going to have her euthanized. She...

I don’t want her to suffer. She is clearly struggling and barley eating her greens anymore. She lives on a small platform because she can not get up and down her steps. I put a ramp in for her but she has no interest. I don’t want her suffering but I don’t want to put her down and make it seem...
