Just a final update. My dragon just died. I found him motionless when i got home, body darkened on the eyes, body, tail and legs. He was stiff. After the vet visit on monday which he pooped, he didnt poop until thursday. But on Thursday, he was suddenly really weak. I am not sure if it is...

I will have to keep monitoring him and make sure he gets his intake of calcium and protein he needs. X-ray does not show any impaction. The vet removed all remaining shedding which is mainly the cloaca area and a bit of the shoulder. This was all that the vet told me she removed, nothing else...

To my knowledge, the vet said she removed the stuck shed and tried to get stool sample and a lot came out, like days worth, she even showed me the poop. My dragon almost completed shedding except for the cloaca area, which i thought to just leave it alone and let it shed by itself. So it was...

Hi guys! Thank you for all your advice! I finally found a reliable vet here that handles exotics and had an appointment just now. Apparently there was stuck shed at the anus and was preventing it from pooping. The vet removed the stuck shed and he pooped it all out, it was quite a bit. The vet...

The weather here is warm buy humid, however, because it's not legal here, it is not very convenient to bring out. I saw a website that says it is likely MBD or upper digestive tract impaction, so i tried letting it lick some olive oil to lubricate the tract like the site mentioned, not sure if...

There wasn't any reptisun in the store i got a exoterra uvb200 bulb 13w and place it 5inches from him. that would have to do for now. I did give him a warm bath and massage its belly. i read somewhere online that front leg not moving may be due to impaction on the upper digestive tract? i'm not...

Thanks bud. I'll get my hands on a T5 Reptisun 10.0 and hope this makes some difference. But you might be right on the breeding. I had another friend who got a zero from the same person and presumably from the same clutch cos we had it at the same time, and the zero had really bad birth...

He is still unable to eat. I have tried wriggling some feeders but he seems uninterested. I tried massaging its belly, just in case it might help with impaction or something. I noticed when i rubbed his belly, his arms became less stiff and relaxed and able to stretch out. So I'm not sure if...

Did you see the youtube video link? I do not think he looks anywhere near underweight. Maybe the tank picture makes him looks skinny because his sides are darker. The lighting should not be an issue, I have even numerous people telling me that MBD doesnt even set in that early. And this happens...

I have updates. I just got back from work and soak him in water mixed with calcium and a bubbler in hopes that he will drink it. He kinda responded well in the sense that he is responsive and started moving around. The thing is, his right hand is stiff and stretched back. his legs seems to still...

I always have water in the tank and tend to check on the tautness of the skin on the body for signs of dehydration. I feed him mealworms and dubias. Sometimes he has an appetite for mealworms, sometimes he ignore mealworms and only wants dubias. So I alternate depending on what he reacts better...

I have to agree with you on the condition of the dragon. Since it is not from a reputable breeder or anything, I don't know how it was bred. The twitching im referring to is not exactly like twitching, it's more like when you carry the dragon and tilt it sideways, it will attempt to stabilise...

I don't have pictures now, but the specs i have listed. This is like my tank except mine has 4 bulb inputs. the middle 2 bulbs are exoterra uvb150 bulbs 13W. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_uvb150.php Mine is bigger at 4ft long, 2ft deep and 2ft high If i tell you, I'd have to...

Hi all, I really need your help. My bearded dragon suddenly isn't active a few days ago. He suddenly doesn't wake up in the morning like he usually does. Information: Tank: 4ft by 2ft by 2ft Temperature: 30-38deg C (never falls below 30C as i'm in a tropical country) UVB: Exoterra UVB150 13W x...

It doesn't look irritated as in he doesn't scratch it or anything, it's just constantly closed. There's no signs of swell, but when he opens that eye, the presumably nictitating membrane is visibly pink and covers about 40% of the eye. I could not see any debris in the eye. I really dont have...
