Hi all, I apologize for the delay in response as the holiday has made my days hectic lately. Sheldon is doing well just his typical self..although I will say that he does seem more energetic and is pooping more now that I force critical care. He is not eating on his own I suspect due to...

Hello, Thank you both for the replies. It is good to hear it's not as terrible as I was told. Sheldon has a diet of greens and fruits and once every other week he may have protein. I will admit, ever since his incident in 2015 where he had trouble breathing he doesn't eat like he used to and...

Hey everyone, I got a call from my exotic vet that just got results back for Sheldon's blood work. Sheldon is 6 years old and like everyone else's beardie, he's my baby. He has a reptisun 10.0 uvb fluourescent bulb and a halogen 90 watt heat light about 8 inches above basking spot. (He likes his...

I got a new beardie about 2 months ago from the pet store. He was free because his back foot was bitten off by a cage mate. I didn't want the beardie to go to the wrong people because all they heard was "free" so I took him. Being that I have owned my other two for 5 years now, I thought it...

So, update: The third vet decided that the heart "looked of normal shape and size" so that is good. I told the vet about how I thought maybe there was a chemical burn inside of his lungs and nose and she started treating him for that by giving him nebulizer treatments, fluids, and injectable...

Sheldon declined this morning and was struggling even more to breathe, his beard turning black, and sitting up straight to open up the airways. I brought him into the vet as an emergency again, and they put him back into oxygen. They had a second vet look at the xrays and she thinks that his...

THANK YOU for responding! I've been a worried mess over here. I'm so afraid I'm going to lose him. What are the odds he will make it through this?? All of this did happen right after the plastic fumes. It was strange. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I'm wondering if he got...

I took Sheldon to the vet yesterday because he has been puffing his beard in and out and making a hissing and clicking noise constantly. I know what's normal for him after 5 years of owning him, and this is not normal. The vet said he was definitely struggling and gasping. So they kept him in...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Gizmo and Sheldon! Gizmo is the biggest one, Sheldon is the smaller one with the stubby tail ;) Enjoy! Beardie present anyone? I looked all over for Sheldon...and where do I find him? Sleeping in the Christmas tree!

Well we tried the antibiotics and nothing changed for Shel. He is acting totally normal now and seems fine..although is one nostril still looks the same. Maybe that's just how is nostril is all of a sudden? The vet can't find anything wrong besides the fact that his nostril looks closed...

I have been bathing my boys in a big storage container that fits in the bathtub. It cracked, and I need to throw it away now. I am wondering if it is safe if I just bathe them in the bathtub instead of buying another container? I always see others doing it but when I filled up the tub I could...

Thank you so much for all of the support, without you guys I wouldn't know what I'm supposed to do! I will look and see if I can find that probiotic. He has not blackbearded during the baytril, but last night after I gave it to him he was puffing his beard out and back in constantly while...

Okay, I am giving him the baytril once a day for 10 days. Where do I get been-bac? Is that the best probiotic to give him?

The x-rays are $150 dollars. So you think I should just do x rays instead of antibiotics first?
