So the sores have not gone away. He is going to have another vet appointment ASAP

Falkor had another vet appointment this morning. We came home with an anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic as well as more omnivore powder to help supplement lack of eating and help make sure he's fully hydrated. He will need a bath every day now for 15 minutes while he's on his medication, but...

I’ll get some honey today. Hopefully it’s easy to find unpasteurized. And I realized I put bird antibiotic instead of broad. Haha. Oops. He had a bath today before I left for work as well. I’m going to call the vet today as soon as I can. He’ll probably want to check the sores to make...

His sores don’t look any better to me. He’s eating but minimally. I’m going to call the vet again and see about a bird antibiotic and more supplement powder to mix and syringe feed for him. I just feel bad him. He also looks like he’s about to shed his head so he’s just uncomfortable all...

Well, today is day 2 of the medicine/gel stuff and Falkor is so angry he didn’t want to eat. I gave him his bath and he was just sulking the entire time. When it comes to his second meal time maybe he’ll forgive me a little and eat lol. He’s doing ok though... he hasn’t gone to the bathroom...

Thank you!!! He’ll need the gel every day for 2 weeks though. Wish me luck getting him to open his mouth lol. The vet recommended a guitar pick. Any other ideas?

Vet visit went well. Falkor was fine until they opened his mouth (he did NOT like that), but I did in fact go home with maxi guard. Before I could even ask about it, the vet told me. He said to try this for 2 weeks and if it doesn’t get better, come back for antibiotics. But the vet said...

By critical care do you mean the supplement? If yes, I used it if he wasn’t eating crickets. He averages around 8 at each feeding so if it drops below that for a day or 2, he gets his supplement. He only had 1 eating issue this morning so that’s good. I’ll let you know how the vet visit...

Well, he has a vet appointment on Monday (earliest I could get). I’ll ask about the gel!!! Thanks for that!!! He used to get syringe fed when he wasn’t eating much fighting the virus. And ADV is a scary thing to watch him go through. He has very little to no feeling in his back legs and...

this is Falkor about a week ago

Hello, His heat bulb is zoomed and the uvb is reptisun. He eats crickets twice a day (if he’s hungry enough for the second round) always dusted with calcium. Vitamin dusting on fridays and I think it’s reptivit? He gets salad every day (bell pepper or butternut squash and at the moment...

Hi all, As you know, my little fellow Falkor is ADV positive. You have been super helpful and supportive for this first time beardie mon facing this challenge. He’s still eating and seems pretty happy (until he misses a cricket), but I’m noticing something new now when he eats (or tries to)...

Well, he hasn’t gained weight past 34g, he’s about to shed again... appetite is on and off. I think this is just how he’s going to be. Other than that he’s happy and on the healthier side lol
