Hi folks. Just got back from a vet checkup where I had a fecal exam and blood work done for my 5.5 month old beardie, Malmö. Still waiting on the blood results, but the fecal came back with high counts of protozoan parasites (3-4 different kinds :shock: ) and moderate coccidia (vet says we're...

Heard back from the vet. He died of kidney/liver failure, though cause of that is unknown. The additional tests were going to run me another $300, so I opted to not go ahead. As much as I would like to know for sure what the cause was, I already spent quite a bit in pursuit of trying to save him.

Thanks everyone. I just got back from taking him to the vet. She's going to do a necropsy on him; I'll possibly go through with a viral culture if it's not going to cost me an outrageous amount of money. They're also going to cremate him and give me back his ashes in a little box, so it will be...

Hi everyone, thanks for all the support. I am devastated to share that Jub Jub passed away sometime early this morning. I got up to do his morning routine and though he looked like he was sleeping, he was already stiff. I was prepared for it, but I had hoped he would be one of the lucky ones...

Got him the fluids, and the tech showed me how to do it. They sent me home with 7 days worth of syringes. Once I got him back home I was able to very slowly get about 1 ml of critical care in him, and he's been resting in his terrarium since. He's still got some spunk in him when I try to feed...

I have an appointment in about 3 hours to get him more fluids (and they're going to show me how to do it). He's really weak today though. I haven't seen any improvement in days. I woke up to find what I think is more vomit-- probably his last couple days' worth of food. :( I'm going to try to...

I just got home and tried to get some more food in him... I probably got a little less than .5ml in him if I'm generous. He's not even reliably lapping up what I put between his lips now. He's also not interested in the BeneBac. He still has enough energy to (sometimes) thrash around when I try...

Unfortunately he's not any better this morning; I think he's actually declined. :( He really didn't want to take any food this morning, I couldn't get even a full .5ml in him. He feels limp when I hold him, and he can't even grip my shirt well anymore when I put him on my chest. Just a couple...

He's actually just perked up again a tiny bit, after coming back from getting fluids. He's currently in his basking area again (went there willingly!) and holding his head up, albeit with his eyes closed mostly. He's actually opening them a teeeeeensy bit more than he has been, but it is his...

Made a tech appointment to get him more fluids this evening after I make it home from work. Hopefully he's still hanging on by then. :(

He's still with us this morning, though his condition has not improved. I was able to get a little Benebac and about 1ml of Critical Care into him this morning. He's still lapping up food when I get it in his lips, but I can tell he really doesn't want to eat. He's also trying to find the...

Got it. I made a typo on the img code, it should show now. Here's what he looks like now. Apologies for the blurriness on the second picture. I have already disturbed him a bunch of times this afternoon/evening and I was rushing to get him back in the terrarium.
