Only the bloods that I posted up. What else would I be worth requesting in terms of the blood tests? I was told the Zinc toxicology were not high enough to cause any problems. I can’t understand why they are high at all. His live food is locusts and meal worms (rarely as a treat!).

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for all your well wishes and advice, it is really appreciated. I got the results back today which I have copied below. Hopefully people on here will know better than I what they mean. The vets continue to be amazing and are looking after him so well! Lab Number...

So the ADV came back negative, which is as much as relief as a surprise. The vets are keeping him in for a few days to run more bloods and compare and also to check toxicology. I have asked them to email me the results. The tremor is so bad but his posture and energy are still high, and he is...

So I’ve not had a good day with him today (hence the late replies). I had been feeding him some slurry like was suggested and he had what looked like a seizure (fell onto his back and breathing funny). I took him to the emergency vets but they didn’t have a reptile specialist so I have him home...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can advise how often I should be force feeding the wee one? I’m using critical care powder mixed with water and try and give him 10ml a day. Is this too much or too little? And still no test results back :-(

Thanks everyone. I just hate the not knowing what’s wrong with him, and whether he is suffering or not. It’s heart breaking to watch.

Some further comments on the temperatures. The cold side sits around 25 degrees (80 far) while the hot side at the top of the branch is circa 40 (105). On the shelf at the hot side the temperature is 33degrees (91) which is where he is sitting all the time at the moment because he doesn’t have...

ADV is the only test result still to come back and the one I’m still most worried about. we didn’t test for it at the start because he’s an older beardie and it’s a lot less common.

I should have said the temperatures are his night temperatures. Yes the vet was very surprised by quite how low his wbc was. I mix in the spinnach with other veg. He loves it but I know it’s not too nutritious so I put it in to make him eat the kale! He’s incredibly fussy haha. I hadn’t...

Thanks so much for your response. I will request the blood results but from memory the white cell blood count was the most worrying (0.4). He is still not himself and is not eating at all and I hate the force feeding him. His name is Keither. The vet, who really seems to know his stuff, is...

Hi, I am hoping for anyone who may have had the same symptoms as my beardie. He is 6 or 7 year old and was always in very good health. Around 5 weeks ago he started to go off his food, and developed a really bad head tremor. I took him to a vet who carried out a number of tests, checking first...
