Nika was taken to the vet today, and I was given medication and a special diet that I needed to force feed her because she had 0 energy. Came home and gave it to her, and unfortunately she passed away a few hours later. Thank you all for your help :(

Unfortunately I live in Ohio where it’s always cold. She always loved being in the sun. She was always the most energetic when the sun was out. Nowadays it’s always dark, cold, and snowy out. I’m afraid she’s gonna choke on the water if I give it to her. I’m at the point where I’m force feeding...

She’s not doing well. The vet also canceled my appointment and made it Friday because she couldn’t make it. I hope Nika makes it till then. She’s basically dead but alive at the same time. Her breathing isn’t normal, she’s still not eating after 4 days, when I try to feed her water she doesn’t...

If she won’t eat or poop how am I supposed to get a fecal sample? Her UVB bulb is within 10 inches and she has a log in the middle she can go on to get closer. It covers most of her tank. Her legs still work, but not like they used to. She just seems out of energy completely. I guess the...

Her temp is correct, I use a digital probe and it’s 95-105. She just sits on the cool side most of the time where her hammock is. How much water is good to give her each day? I stopped giving her baths because she would gulp the water like she just got done running a mile and puke it up.

It’s a brand new tube, I replace it every 6 months. I think this is all my fault because I have been slacking on the calcium intake with my job. I work 60 hours a week night shift and some days she won’t eat meaning she won’t get the calcium she needs. She’s never been a fan of dusted insects so...

It is a T5 22inch. It is on top of the screen

Tube, reptisun 10.0

It is hard to say, she has no energy and refuses to move most of the time. I’ve picked her up and seen a little movement in her legs. I’m thinking she could have MBD

I just got home from work and found her in a super awkward position as if she’s having trouble moving her hind legs. Her tail was bent under her and her legs were free falling while she was propped against her log.

It is not a burn. I don’t use heating pads or anything like that. I use repti carpet with a 10.0 reprising UVB fluorescent tube and a 100 watt basking bulb. Forgetting about the mark on the chest, Nika doesn’t seem to be doing well. I’m taking her to the vet Tuesday. She’s not eating, and seems...

That’s what I was thinking. It’s just odd.

Can anyone identify what this may be on my bearded dragon’s chest? It hasn’t always been there.
