Thank you, everyone. I learned a lot of things with the time I had her, maybe if I get another beardie down the road. They such wonderful little critters. Hugs and kisses to all of your beardies out there!

Hi everyone, I appreciate everyone's input and effort. Unfortunately today was her last day with us, she fought well but with her steady decline we decided it was time to to go so she wouldn't have to suffer any longer. I did get the CT scan done before hand regardless, just to see if they...

Hi everyone, just a quick update. Unfortunately not much forward progress; still can't see, still swollen, getting thinner by the day as I try to syringe feed her and no news from the vet. However, I believe the pinworms should at least be done since her poops look and smell okay now. One...

Hi Tracie, That's correct, just a regular white light. The dewormer they gave me for her is Panacur, they told me to give her 0.17mL a day for three days; I've read online this varies, I'm on day three now.

Hey guys, unfortunately nothing super improved. However, Friday I was able to feed her 2 1/2 hornworms! http://i.imgur.com/KiDVwj0.jpg Her swelling had gone down just a little bit, but enough to allow her to kind of see (not very well, I had to assist her in eating the hornworms by dangling...

Good morning everyone, Tracie; No worries! Kidney and liver function were struck off the list, she did have a blood test done in the beginning. I've had her UVB lamp off the last two days, no immediate signs of change yet but I will give it time. The weather has also been nice and hot for her...

Sounds good to me. It sounds like a CT scan may be a good idea, but it sounds pricey...I'll have to ask them how much it will run.

Yeah, they were thinking the next steps would be a blood culture to check for a system-wide infection and/or a CT scan to see if there's anything in her that may be obstructing blood flow. For the news of pinworms, am I right to think a full viv disinfection is a good idea? Could these...

I just got an update from the vet after they did the fecal sample, and it turns out they did see a high number of pinworms in her stool. So they will be prescribing me something for her to take for a few days to try and clear them out. Unfortunately it wasn't the doctor who delivered this news...

Also, here's a few photos of the current state of her eyes. The stuff on her snout is just the Carnivore Care I've been feeding her; https://imgur.com/a/EUkfm

Hi kingofnobbys, thanks for your response. I'm not sure if they did do a swab test of her eye discharge, certainly something I can ask my vet. As far as her enclosure goes, there's never been any sand in there and primarily it's tile or smoothish stones; the only thing that could have...

Hi everyone, just some updates on Iggy's current status. I got her back today for her follow up visit at the vet I've been visitng; the swollen eyes issue is still a "mystery", but we're at least able to rule a few things out through her blood tests and what not. They're finding her blood...

Hi Tracie, Still not improved, unfortunately. I have recently swapped out the MVB bulb with a regular heat bulb just to see if there's any chance of it being the UV abundance issue, but things haven't really changed one way or another. The distance of the light sources, depending on her...

Hi Tracie, Thanks for your response, I'll check vit A toxicity off the list then. I'm using Zoo Med bulbs for everything, including the MVB bulb. Normally she does get calcium weekly, I almost always powder her live feed in calcium powder. Never really coated her greens, though. At this...

Thanks AHBD, I'll try making those changes. I do give her a bath every few weeks, occasionally she'll take a drink from the tub; I'll try that tonight or at least let her soak a bit. And I'll try reducing the lighting too. Unfortunately it was an "exotics" expert, not specifically reptiles...
