I had a similar-ish problem in fall 2012, actually! Dumb old me (accidentally) dropped my beardie's ReptiSun 10.0 tube when I was moving things around in his viv. I'm assuming I damaged it, because there was about a two-inch section at one end of the bulb that was darkened and flickering... But...

R.I.P., long beautiful tail! And here he is today, pouting because I took him to the vet again lol (And his last shed was kinda weird, plus on top of that Vet#1 peeled off some un-ready shed during the first surgery because she thought it might be constricting circulation. Ouch. Hence the...

Huzzah, internet is finally fixed! (I think, lol). My phone and my computer aren't playing nice at the moment, but I'll get pics up once they decide to behave themselves. Brick's second surgery was on the 5th... bleh. :| The vet only charged me for the bare minimum (and even there he...

I think sometimes it it might take a bit for their bodies to slow down enough to fully brumate... I had about a month of Brick being Mr. Indecisive last year before he finally slept. His eating slowed down, his little beardie brain slowed down, but the lizard himself just wasn't quiiiiiiite...

That's a good question! I'm reeeeeallyreally hoping not. :? I didn't have to sign a surgery estimate today like I did when I scheduled the first surgery, but that could just be because they were super busy and someone forgot to print one up? I'll ask about it when I get my pre-surgery phone call...

Oh no! I'm internet-less for a week and all sorts of bad things happen! :shock: :( :( :( I'm so sorry Deb. About the job yuckiness and nasty Tara and poor Rubio's mouth and poor Titan's skin infection and icky injections :( :( And yet you're still always so sweet and kind despite all this...

Thank you everyone!! Hugs for you all :) :love5: Sorry I haven't been on much. Work is insane, plus the internet died for about a week because AT&T is lame. I have not-so-great news though: Captain Brick Bordeaux' tail is still "withering". :cry: I knew the vet didn't take off enough of his...

Thank you! <3 so far so good with those nasty evil needles every 3 days. :) I'm still surprised. And it's also quite liberating. I'm not going to go get needle-stabbed on purpose or stab everything I see with a needle, but it's nice to not get nauseated and/or lightheaded every time I even see a...

Pictures of my darling! I'll do an update after the photos so the update doesn't get "lost". His tail on July 24th, the first day I noticed scales falling off. It's shiny from Neosporin, and I think those hairs either belong to me or one of our furry critters lol. Oops.- Tail on August 7th...

This is true! Lol :) He is a bit shorter these days though, poor guy. I hope he isn't going to want a sports car to "compensate" for his smaller tail... :P And speaking of little ones I would love to see baby pics of Brick and Lady <3 <3 I've scoured the internet in case the old owners had put...

Good luck! :) I wonder if they'll need a longer soak time when they're at an angle like that? Physics is not my strong point lol

Leo! :shock: Stop that! :( :( I made a makeshift bathtub for Brick last night out of a small shallow Tupperware container. I made sure his vent was submerged but kept his tail-sutures out of the water (luckily he sat still for about half an hour so I'm hoping he absorbed at least a little...

Thanks ladies! :) I'm still quite shocked that I was able to do it... just the sight of needles weirds me out, and when I'm the one getting stuck with a needle I always have to lay down (I get super lightheaded & nauseated. I wish I wasn't such a pansy! And it's been that way for as long as I...

Thank you for the support everyone! <3 <3 I reallyreally do appreciate it. It's so nice to be able to chat with/vent to people that "get" this crazy wonderful phenomenon of beardie-love. <3 And I'll have more brainpower for actual chatting once I catch up on some sleep ;) My dear little...

Aww I love your boys' antics :) :love5: And poor Titan. I think if I was smaller than a bearded dragon, I'd hide too! I'm sure beardies are pretty intimidating looking from any smaller critter's perspective, not just a fellow beardie's. Especially with all those spikes. :o

Thanks :) And welcome to my dear little monster's thread! :) Fortaz is injection only :( But it's easier on their organs than other abx, and it's only given once every three days instead of daily. :? I felt like one of those bug-eyed cartoons when the vet asked me if I knew how to give an...

That does help-- a lot! Even if Brick holds an extra major grudge and it takes him manymany months to get over it, the fact that beardies can and will eventually forgive, gives me hope! I wasn't sure if reptiles could/would come around after something super unpleasant done to them by their owner...

I went to visit, but he's still really really out of it. So my baby is spending the night at the vet's, just in case. :\ I know he'd be more comfortable and less stressed if he was home with me, but... wow. The only time he actually looked coherent was when the vet tech gave him his antibiotic...

Quick update even though I'm at work: Brick's surgery went well! :D (sigh of relief) I get to pick him up at 6pm. No concerns or anything out of the ordinary, yay! The only problem they ran into was when trying to anesthetize him, the little stinker did NOT want to go under lol. Somehow I'm...

Aww :) Thanks everyone!! I know he'll be fine, and I'm sure I'll be fine as well lol ;) I was super-worried like this for my first mammal surgery as well many years ago (surgery to remove foreign object from my sister's kitten's tummy), but since that first one I don't stress as much when one...
