Thank you everyone for your reply! His name is "SHIGURE". He lives in Japan. I got to know him through Twitter, and I just had to tell his owner (who also lives in Japan obviously), "You should post these pictures on BeardedDragon.Org! People will love them!!" The owner doesn't read or...

Here are some more pics...

Hello. I just wanted to share these pictures of a beautiful BLUE-EYED bearded dragon!! (I got a permission to post them from the owner...) How rare is it?!

Hello everyone! Thanks to Tracie's advice, my friend has been giving Allopurinol and Black Cherry Extract to Nico for the last couple of weeks now. She took her to the vet again on Sun 10/30 (I think it had only been a week or so since she started on Allopurinol and Black Cherry Extract, so I...

I sent my beardie's picture on Sept 29, and received the automated response too, but I don't see her picture in your previews... My username is nbaragon, and my beardie's name is Mykyju. Should I resend the photo?

Hi Tracie - Thank you so much again!! I'm not sure if the vet owns the "Reptile Medicine and Surgery" book (It's just that I've heard good things about the book, so that's why I mentioned it, but I don't own a copy myself), so it will be great if you can scan some pertinent pages. I hope...

Hi Tracie - Thank you very much again for replying. No, Nico is not on Allopurinol yet -- just some type of an anti-biotic or anti-inflammatory medication for infections. Apparently, the vet thinks it's still too early to diagnose it as gout, and his treatment/strategy is still based on...

Hello - My friend took Nico to the vet again last Sunday (Oct 9), and below are Nico's latest blood test results (bold). I will include her old results where available. Please note that Nico didn't have any problem last summer. The problem started in the end of July this year. TP (g/dl)...

Thank you so much again for your help, Tracie!! I will relay the message to my friend!

Hello - Thank you so much again for all of your help!! I translated and relayed each and every word of your messages to my friend in Japan. Here are some more updates on Nico: 1) Puffiness/Swelling: My friend took Nico to the vet again this week. As for her hind legs, it seems to be...

Hi Mach10X, Hi Tracie - Thank you so much for your messages!! Again, I translated every word and relayed them to my friend. She really appreciates your help too!! So, my friend took the PowerSun away, and placed a ReptiSun 10.0 tube light instead, at about 11 inches away from Nico (I told...

Hi Tracie - Thank you so much for replying. I will relay your message to my friend, but should she keep giving Nico Calcium with Vitamin D3? Or, is it better to stop for now? As for the light she's using, my friend says it's "Power Sun 100W", which apparently serves as both a basking light...

Hi all - Thank you everyone for your prayers for Nico. Here are some updates. Last Friday (Aug 26), my friend took Nico to the vet again. The good news is that the medication seemed to have worked, and it looks like a new piece of bone has formed/developed around where it was “melting”...

Dear QuincyAndI, Cammy, and Tracie - Thank you sooooo much for your input!! I translated every word of your replies into Japanese and relayed them to my friend. When/if she gets more information, such as blood test results, new X-rays, and details of the medications, I will post them here...

Hello all - I am posting this on behalf of my friend in Japan, whose 2 1/2 year old female beardie, Nico, is very ill. My friend has been taking Nico to one of the most respected reptile vets in Tokyo, but the vet hasn't been able to identify what's causing it exactly, even after taking...
