We've been battling a respiratory infection for probably 6 months now. i think he's still sick but I may be overreacting. Today the vet said he looks and sounds better. I think his beard is still just the slightest bit gray from being sick which is the symptom that I was wondering about being...

This is exactly why I signed on today. My question is related to this topic. What I want to know is what are the physical signs of aging. My beardie is a rescue so we don't know his exact age but we guess he's at least 10 now. I don't want to tamper the answer pool by saying what he's...

no - 24 tall - its taller than it is deep. She didn't say anything about lower humidity and no to nebulization

I have the HO-T5 12% desert. My tank is about 48" x 18" x 24" (I'm not at home so I'm estimating here - can't remember)

Hi All, My Ernie is fighting a respiratory infection. We're on our 3 round of antibiotics. He's older - 8 or 9. My vet recommended I try a mercury vapor bulb. She said it just might help him get over this infection. She said since I have such a large tank he might not be getting enough of...

Ernie is male - thanks for your response!

Just got home from work and there are about 12 urate spots on Ernie's paper towel. Really small like if you were to use chalk on sidewalk - just a bunch of small smears. Should I be worried? Do I need to call the vet and go in?

His last antibiotic dose was yesterday. He's still not feeling good. Still not eating. I don't think the infection is cleared up either. He's still got that occasional odd cough. I'm going to wait a couple more days before I take him back to the vet to see if his beard clears up, he starts...

I will try to answer all questions here. I am giving daily baths. Yes he is drinking from the bath. I don't want to give him oral liquids because its traumatizing to him and I don't want him to aspirate the water. So since he's been drinking in his bath I haven't done oral fluids. He was...

I'm guessing all of my probiotics are expired so I'll have to see if I can get some. I've been doing daily baths to help with hydration. He doesn't like oral water but I can do that too. Thanks

Hi All, Been awhile but I'm back! My Ernie has a respiratory infection. He was diagnosed last Wednesday and the vet prescribed Enrofloxacin (Baytril). Well within a day he had a pitch black beard - You all know the look. So I called the vet on Saturday and my concerns were dismissed. On...

On Saturday Bert told me that it was time to let him go. Bert is gone and I keep looking in his tank forgetting that he's not there. It's been a hard, sad couple days. The vet just called to tell me his ashes are ready for me to pick up. In the end we just couldn't figure out what was ailing...
