My cat busted the screen top to the tank and got my baby beardie out! :( Now he's got this gash in his side and I'm so worried. I know he needs a vet but I can't get him to one at this very moment. It looks like maybe it's JUST the scale layer that has come off and there may be a layer of thin...

Thanks! He drinks a little from the syringe but not much. I soaked him in some very shallow water as well (although he held his head up without a problem, I was just unsure if he may not keep his head up and drown himself!). I have squash baby food and will see if he takes to it today.

Thanks! I was considering calcium deficiency too, but I'm not sure if that would cause what I described (the supposed stroke)? I'm still learning the health dynamics of beardies haha, slowly but surely learning more everyday from these 3 rescues... He's under a reptisun tube now and I'm trying...

So I'm yet again the rescue mommy to a new hatchling... I know I really shouldn't have gone with another one but frankly I had no reasonable choice in the matter :( It was either take him or he was getting turned loose outside! I have no history on this hatchling (except that all he was kept in...

Yup! From all I had read about it I thought it was going to be much harder to get rid of. But I'm glad it worked out well :)

Hello again everyone! Sorry for not updating lately, been pretty busy. Some sort of random news; I got a shipment of crix in from LLL and it ended up being the wrong order they sent me! I got someone's 500 or less 1/4" crickets as opposed to what I ordered (1000 1/2" crix). But I sent an email...

Thank you :) I read also that I may be due to the dehydration. I'll keep up the baths and wait and see if eventually she can shed it herself.

I have a question; max seems like she's shedding most of her body and it looks as though it is ready to come off, however it is stuck like dry skin to her. Some of it is barely flaking and I've tried gently rubbing those pieces off but they don't come off in big chunks like most beardies skin...

I went to pick some up at the vet but turns out they were all out, so I stuck to Lamisil. Yes I got the reptisun as well :) it has improved max's appetite tenfold!

Got the reptisuns Wednesday, and Max has really improved with it! She's eating lots of live food now! I think they're both eating greens when I'm not home, too ;) The fungus is looking SO much better! I'm just worried about this one spot on her right now, where it looks as if some of her scales...

Thanks, I'm also glad that I found them! These little gals are so sweet.

Sorry about not updating! They're doing much better! Max eats some live food now along with baby food, roux is a little pig that eats lots of bugs :) the second tank was bought and all set up, just waiting for the reptisun bulbs to arrive this week. Been taking them outside on the nice days...

An update of Max's fungus: Not the best picture but I really think it's clearing up fast! It looks a lot better than it did when I got her! Max will not go after live food or veggies yet, only drinking from her bath and eating baby food dabbed on her lips (which I think she really likes). At...

Thanks! Tracie said it will be ok to use, so I'll have to see about picking some up. Max ate some squash baby food yesterday, I'm happy she got something into her! Her fungus seems to be clearing up a little bit as well, on her head and vent both. I'll post a picture when I get home to update.

Can anyone tell me if ketoconazole is any good for this fungus? I called my local cat&dog vet (reptile vet wasn't available to speak) and he recommended this for my dragon. He admittedly doesn't have a lot of reptile experience and can't do a cytology on the fungus but the other vet I mentioned...
