Hi guys! So far so good, she is active, eating and basking and has more energy than before I feel. At the moment she is exploring on my desk, had a nice big poop now, biggest in a long while. She is doing great! Diamc, he did not give any antibiotics as he didn't feel comfortable giving...

He didn't say anything on bathing and all that, but won't to be safe. But will ask him anyway. He did go very high up because most of the tail was a light grey, and not going to risk it and took about 2cm above the grey area. Didn't put on some cream, but can if needed, is the bactroban which...

Only if she needs more removed, I used to work for the vet so we see each other a lot. It's sad but it doesn't look like it disturbs her. Just a little bit ouch but she is already active again

Hi guys, so we did the amputation today, I assisted, never knew reptiles take so long to go under on gas, anyway. We took a big chunk of the tail, hope we got all the infection, she has recovered nicely, has some pain but we will monitor it. Vet is afraid of partial necrosis as the skin is...

Hi all, I got the honey, although I'm not sure if it's the right ones. But only one I could find that looks okay. A little more skin has come loose so worried about that. But monotoring, I will post pictures later. Now the cream, we are going to hear if the pharmacy has Polysporin, but not sure...

Hi Tracie. I will get that today and put it on, antibiotic cream for animals? Or would any cream do? If I can't get honey. I can honestly not think of anything recent in her cage, but it may be possible for one of our cats to have swat at the tail while we were outside. The tail looks about the...

Overall she looks healthy, eating and basking, giving me attitude like you won't believe it. The tail is the only issue, but keeping a fine eye for behaviour changes

What worries me is how sudden it was, I handle her almost every day and I just felt the bubble yesterday. I really wish I could take her, unfortunately the vets in the city dont do credit or payment plans. I will pick up a jar of the honey tomorrow. I just hope it stops any infection, at this...

Thanks for all the replies, it is a bit skinnier than the rest of the tail but I am not sure why, unfortunately the only vet I can go to that I wont have to pay, didn't even know how a bearded dragon looks like before I showed him, so that might be a problem. I stopped working a month ago and on...

Hi all! So yesterday I bathed Queen, I rubbed down her tail to get off the water and felt an air pocket, I thought thats strange but maybe she's starting to get ready to shed, I poked it to feel where it starts and ends, when I touched it, some air must have escaped, but the most awful smell...

He's apparently 5 months old. But unfortanetly the baby is allready sold. I just hope and pray that's its to a good home who can care for him properly. Thank you all for your responses. I wish I just replied earlier. But oh well

Hi all, Sorry, I don't know if this is the right section, if it isn't I'm sorry. I was wondering if you could help me judge this baby's body condition and if she is in desperate need of rescuing or attention? I think I can see her spine and hip bones. But I want a second opinion just for in...

Hi all, I have a 1+ year dragon that has stunted growth, we believed what the pet shop here said and now he is 12'' with a big tail nip, but really starting to grow fast. Any way I just wanted to make sure his weight is right for his size and age, he currently weighs 230g. Is that okay? Or a bit...

4 inches at 4 months? Are you measuring from tip of nose to tip of tail? There are actually several things wrong that I can see. Firstly separate the beardies ASAP, they are very territorial and can cause injury to one another, they are solitary creatures, not social animals. So it's best to...

Thanks for the reply, I'll try that, I have been holding him a lot more and hand feeding him, and it has helped quite a bit. But I'm going to try the other suggestions as well. Thank you.
