    What’s the best way for 1 person to give meds orally?

    Hi I have to give my beardie meds orally every day for gout. I let him sit in his enclosure and just move him so I can reach him easily. Some times he surprises me and just drinks it from the syringe if I squeeze the first drop out on his mouth. It helps if he is not too full from drinking a...

    Our 5 month old bearded has bad gout! Please help! :(

    Hello Our bearded also has gout and I'm glad Tracie posted because she had given us a lot of good advice. I hope you won't give up hope because our Dyrdek had a uric acid count of 29.8 and he is doing well on his treatment so far. He is receiving Allopurinol and colchicine for the gout...

    Rescue Beardie, one of the worst I have ever seen

    I am sorry he didn't make it, I'm sure he would have had a great life with you. At least he was able to experience being cared for, even for such a short time. I think you you were meant to find him and give him that comfort.

    my beardie has gout

    Hi Tracie, We are trying to figure out the best way to set up the terrarium to meet both of their needs. It is a rectangle and we are dividing it long ways so each will have a rectangle instead of 2 squares. We think it will be easier to keep a warm end and cool end for them. But here's the...

    my beardie has gout

    Hi Tracie I never saw any wound or blood on him but a couple of days ago, I did see STubs grab his head with his teeth and hold him down when he went for a cricket and there was no blood then either. So it is possible. I'll call the vet Monday if the swelling is bad and see about a culture...

    Bearded Dragons Hand, HELP!!!!

    I am not an a very experienced beardie owner, I have had my boys about 9 months but I feel like I have to comment because we are in the process of dividing the enclosure that they have shared until now. It really is a very good possibility that the wound was caused by a bite, as hard as it is...

    my beardie has gout

    Honestly, I don't think they did a culture, they didn't mention one.I asked if the infection was related to the gout but she believes it is secondary. When she drained the infection the first time, she described it as looking like cottage cheese, the second time was blood with mucous. There is...

    my beardie has gout

    The blood panel I posted was the test they did the first time to the vet, she also did x rays. Prior to that he had no meds. He has been on Ceftiofur. She did say there was a class of antibiotics that had to be avoided because of the kidney problems. When he was tested again 2 weeks later...

    Starved Beardie!

    Hi I have had beardies for less than a year and they are my first so I'm sure the more experienced people will all have good advice for you. But to share a similar story, when I first got them they were young and the pet store by me had crickets that were too large. So I bought can-o-crickets...

    my beardie has gout

    If you tap the picture, the video will play. One issue of worry. Dyrdeks tail seems darker than his body and kind of dried out. I've been reading people's posts about tail rot. I hope that's not the problem.

    my beardie has gout

    Hello Tracie I have the blood tests results, working on getting them on. Between the vet and the car repairs, we couldn't get the new light we are just using the tube light for now. Suddenly seems to be doing well, his feet still look bumpy but the vet said they may never look better. But he...
