I have a vet now when I trust and whom I know has experience with reptiles. But always call first to ask if going to a new vet. Saves time and money! When mine was sick, I was told there is a specialty vet hospital in Michigan that could do CT scans (mine had a stroke), and IV medications and...

When my dragon was 8-8.5, he had a stroke. His tongue was that color (bad) and his vet handled the situation poorly and with bad bedside manner. I switched to a different vet!! The new vet gave me an antibiotic, steroid, anti-inflammatory/pain medication (the first event who was a bird and...

Try a warm bath. Ease the dragon into the water, and if his or her tail curls upward quickly, then he/she thinks the water is too hot. Either add cool water or wait. Soak the dragon (tail end submerged, head and neck out of water, supported by your hand) for 15 minutes. Dragon should warm up...

Hey, everyone, I'm wondering from where everyone acquired their bearded dragons? My first one came from a breeder at the All Cleveland Reptile Show. My next one is likely coming from Daichu Dragons. Please let me know your beardies' origins! :study: Thanks!

Hello, everyone, I lost my bearded dragon companion 6 years ago and still miss him. I've lent some of his things to friends after he passed away and, as I prepare for my next bearded dragon, I'm finding there are some things I may need to buy again. However, it seems that, in 6 years' time...

Thanks, Laura, It really actually helps to read your post. I just want him to know I love him, and I'm glad from reading your post, to find out that on some level, he does know. He knew when he was a baby. If someone else was holding him, and I started talking, he would turn himself and jump...

Tracie, The stroke was about a week ago and he's been slowly deteriorating every day since then. Eating less, drinking less, moving around a lot less, and hiding more. The past 2-3 days he's been eating and drinking nothing that I can see. Last night, I juiced an orange, then a green apple...

The vet said he likely has "swelling on the brain" right now. The other injectable med will be meloxicam, an NSAID (anti-inflammatory). They didn't focus too much on the future, really. They weren't very optimistic. :( I do know that he has slowed down. He can't move very well, anymore, and...

I think my bearded dragon Lucien had a stroke. I took him to the vet today, after watching him gradually decline for the past week. They agreed with my assessment and told me his prognosis was "poor" and that he was "close to dying." The inside of his mouth is very pale, practically white. He's...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I would love to post pics of Lucien....How exactly do I do that? :?: :study:

Thanks, duke11, for the warm welcome. Lucien and I are great pals :) And yeah...those jumping guys are pretty cool! :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: Nifty.

Dear BeardedDragon.org Community, Hello! This is WiseWolf and I'm posting my first message! I have a bearded dragon who is about 3 years old, at this point, and he's such a joy in my life. I purchased him from the All Cleveland Reptile Show when he was four months old. His name is Lucien...
