Thank you for your kind words, Dee. AHBD, you are also one of the wonderful people on this site who have helped me when Roxy started having problems almost 2 years ago. Thank you! I am fortunate in that I live an hour away from the vet who is the President of the Texas Veterinary Medical...

I am writing this as my dragon, Roxy, is dying from Kidney failure. I am hoping that the money and time I have spent to save my girl can help other Bearded Dragons out there. **Find a good exotic vet, and take your dragon for an exam and fecal ASAP after acquiring them. At the very least take...

This is her recent bloodwork results.

So I took Roxy in to re-check her bloodwork this week. The results are better. The good news... the antibiotics I gave her took care of the septice in her blood which made her so sick.? and Gout seems to be in check. Her calcium is the same. I have not used calcium powder since January. I just...

Update on Roxy.... I just wanted to let everyone who was so kind to help me with my girl, know how she is doing. She is still taking her Allopurinol everyday. Her diet is Phoenix worms and Hornworms- her veggies are offered everyday, she has not returned to eating them though- so she is still...

Thank you! And Amen!? I also looked back and saw that Charmander showed elevated calcium.... when Roxy’s white blood cells were found to be infected, her bloodwork also showed high calcium and normal uric acid.?.?

I am so glad to hear that Charmander’s uric acid level is good. Please let us know when you find out more about the infection. My girl with gout just had her blood work checked, and it came back showing that she had infection in her white blood cells. Very confusing, but she is on antibiotics. I...

Good morning. I hope that Archie is doing better. My Roxy is having a really hard time right now. I have learned that the gout can really complicate a lot of things. I just wanted to share 2 things with you that I learned- it appears that Roxy has a hard time processing her calcium, so I am...

I am so glad that Charmander is going to see the vet. The brumating with gout is a tough thing, if that’s what it is. I thought my girl was going into brumation and I talked to the vet about managing it if she did. Praying for your little guy?

Phoenix worms came and Roxy ate 11*****? they are the large ones which still are not large, but she happily ate them!!!! Date night will be at the pet store buying the t5’s?

It actually makes me feel like I have a great purpose (I didn’t even mention the duck hatched without eyeballs?) Roxy is my snuggle buddy comforter. She makes me feel so loved that she blesses me. I have to get her through this rough time. She got her second dose of Baytril. I gave her doses of...

Thank you. I swear that I try. I just finished getting our 3 1/2 year old rat through an upper respitory, have been giving an old cat with final stage kidney failure sub Q fluids for a little over a month, force feeding a 6 year old toad who can not use his tongue properly since hatching..... so...

When she could climb a few weeks ago, she could get on top of her log and get within 5”. Now she can only crawl onto her basking rock which is 10” below. I feel horrible, because, yes, the light sat on the screen.;( I will look for those today in Austin and if I can’t find it, I will order off...
