    Depression and Beardie Care - Advice

    Update: I got Zuko in to the vet two days ago and they did fecal, blood tests and an x-ray. All the tests came back normal, but he still isn't using his back legs.

    Depression and Beardie Care - Advice

    So last year my bearded dragon was diagnosed with gout. They did the blood work and x-rays and determined it wasn’t in his kidneys and was still early on. But I’ve had him for about 6 years now and it was very saddening news. I did a complete overhaul of his diet as the vet suggested and...
