I agree. I did end up reading another article that said it is true in some ways but that when there is a bond and trust that closing of their eyes is a good thing. There really is so much info out there that contradicts it self or that is down right wrong.

Can anyone tell me if this article about Beardies closing there eyes when being stroked is true? A quick summary is that they close their eyes because they don’t like it. https://oddlycutepets.com/bearded-dragon-closing-eyes-when-stroked/

He is still holding in there. We have seen some improvement. The lump on the side of his face went almost completely away and the lump that is on his head is now becoming soft compared to originally when it was very hard. He is also much more alert and will bask for a long time mostly standing...

So our little Mushu has a growth/lump on the side of his head. There is an an ongoing thread about it that I posted, the members and admins of this web site have been excellent in helping. He now is having some itchy ness around the growth/lump and is trying to rub it on the ground and glass...

Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I posted an update. Mushu is still hanging in there. He has had more improvement and tomorrow or Monday I am going to try to take him in to the vet since his month of shots has come to an end. He is much stronger now and the lump on his left side by his...

Had a little time so I thought I would just give a short update. The lump or part of the lump that had started bulging out on his left side into his mouth has receded almost all the way and the lump on his head has gotten smaller as far as we can tell. His left eye is also to a point he can...

It is a lot but as long as he shows improvement and continues to have good days hopefully more then bad days then I think it’s worth it. Here is a pic of shot day. He gets all of this every day except the orange needle. That is every 3 rd day. Plus he never gets All of the water in the bigger...

The humidity is good. I was able to stabilize it pretty quickly. He is on a 1 month trial to see if there is any improvement then if there is there will be 2 months more of shots.

Yes it does really look uncomfortable but he has always been like this. I mean who sleeps on top of roller skates in a closet with their head face up against the wall holding most of his weight? Lol

Just a pic for comparison before he got the lump plus I really find this pic funny. He used to always lay in some really strange positions.

Update on our little Mushu. Currently he gets .05 Ceftazidime antibiotic injected in his arm every 3 days. Switching arms each time. .05 Meloxicam for pain and inflammation syringed daily .05 Tramadol for pain syringed daily We ran out of the Emeraid food but the Vet said we could use...

So today the humidity in his enclosure dropped to 10. It has been very windy outside all day. Can that cause the humidity to drop in the enclosure?

They told me the only thing they really could do is a biopsy of the growth and that would mean putting him to sleep. At the moment she didn’t believe he was strong enough for that and would probably not wake up and even if they did a biopsy the plan for him would be the same. She wants to go...

So I have an update about Mushu. It doesn’t look good for him but the Vet thinks there is a small chance from what she saw. I am posting all the info in case someone else some day is in a similar situation and may come across this Thread and maybe it will help them. So I apologize for it being...

Thank you. He is not doing very good at all. He stays in his hide almost the entire time. He doesn’t move except when we take him out and put him in his basking spot before we try to feed and medicate him. Then with in 30 min or so of being put back under his lamp he crawls back to his hide. He...
