My beardie, Rocky, is about two years old and is generally in good health. He seems to be eating and pooping just fine. I noticed that his lower lip is turning black, though. I gave him a bath today and scrubbed his lip with a soft toothbrush and baby shampoo but the black is still there. The...

Rocky's pooping habits change with the seasons. Since the weather has turned warmer he poops a couple of times a week. However, I've seen him go two weeks without pooping in the winter. I've had to resort to the warm baths before and it always works. I have to usually leave him in there at...

Thank You!

My bearded dragon recently had coccidia and went through two rounds of Albon. Next time I will definitely try Reptaid or something else first because now Rocky won't eat and won't poop without a warm bath. The good news is that I received a call from the vet today that his last fecal showed no...

I didn't give a probiotic to him during the treatment. During the first round I gave him .5 ml once a day for five days. During the second round I was giving him .5 ml twice a day. It was supposed to be for 14 days but I quit after about 12 because I could tell it was the drug that was making...

Has anyone had problems with their beardie being given Albon? My bd, Rocky, seemed fine about two months ago when I received a card from the vet asking me to bring a fecal sample in for a "check up". I took it in and he had coccidia. He was given a 5 day round of Albon. We took another fecal...

I had a PowerSun bulb that burned my beardies eyes last year. Once I removed the light he was OK after a day or two.

The vet said Rocky looks perfectly fine. I dropped him off in the morning and picked him up in the afternoon so they were able to observe him several hours and said he was perky and fine (of course!). She said he's gained weight since I brought him in June and she didn't feel any signs of...

He hasn't pooped in about in three days which gives me concern. Also, he's just not getting any better. I'm leaving town on Thursday and my husband will be taking care of him but I'd just like to get him into the vet before I go. The funny thing is, when I pull him out of his cool spot in the...

I'm taking Rocky to the vet tomorrow. I'll let everyone know if I find anything out.

Thanks for checking. I looked for my posting yesterday but couldn't find it in order to update you. I gave Rocky his bath and it went better than expected. He made it about thirteen minutes. I'll bathe him again today. He made a poop yesterday that was watery but not complete diahrrea. I...

I did leave the thermometer in for about 45 minutes so I believe the reading was accurate. I have the calcium without D3. I believe I read somewhere before that that is what I should be using. I'll follow your advice about the vitamins - two days a week. I think you asked about his cage...

I went and bought him some collard greens and squash tonight. He ate ten or fifteen crickets today and a few Buffet Blend pellets that I leave for him almost all the time. I also bought the thermometer, just like the one in the picture you showed me. His basking area is about 104. Do you...

I'll try the washcloth, or maybe I could find a flat, clean piece of wood - something for him to hang on to while he's in the water. thanks

Thanks so much for your input. I'm off to WalMart to day armed with a picture of the thermometer and list of veggies from the website you referenced. I ordered a new light bulb yesterday. His old bulb is only three months old so should still be OK but I remember once that we had to go without...
