    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    The fingernail/finger tip fell off today. He is not bleeding but the finger is swollen. We have a vet appt on Wednesday to have it checked out. I applied a dollop of Bacitracin to the tip with a Q-tip after researching beardie wounds, also was suggested to use watered down betadine (to a tea...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    The eye dropper is working well! His nail looks better and appears that there is now blood flow in it. No longer growing straight out- it has a slight curve to it :)

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    I have another inquiry.. My husband and I will be going away 12/23-1/2. Falcor will be finished with his antibiotics on 12/20/24. I have 2 neighbors who will be coming in daily to change water, food, clean the cage and visit with him so he is not lonely. I also got a timer for his tank so...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Scott thank you so much! This advice is phenomenal! I will pick up the eye dropper today and start immediately. He does drink when he is soaking, almost every time he soaks. I use my finger and let the water drop onto his snout and he laps it up that way as well. Good advice about the...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Falcor has been a rock star with receiving his injections. I do not know of any probiotic that are available, do you have any recommendations? He is improving day by day and I am very happy thus far with the progress. I have been soaking him for a minimum of 20 minutes per day to absorb as...

    beardie wont defecate on its territory

    My Beardie Falcor has only pooped in his terrarium 3 times in 4 years. He typically goes on a pee pad in our mudroom! The smell is horrendous but makes cleaning the tank a lot more pleasant ;)

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Hi Tracie! The Vet did not like the look of his finger and found it quite perplexing- hopes that antibiotic will improve (has not seen this prior to Falcor in a patient). He has already had 2 injections and is acting like his normal self again. I just got an update with his labs. Calcium...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Here is the update after our Vet visit on Friday. Vet agrees with the change of lighting ASAP and agrees that we should watch for improvement. No mention of amputation during the visit (YAY). She took some blood and soaked him good, got some of the excess skin off his finger and was able to...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Hi Tracy. I use a Thrive Desert13 W bulb, and after researching a bit further on this site, it looks like he should have a minimum of 50 watt? I have a dual light set -up with uvb bulb next to basking light. As for the location of concerns, this is only happening on 1 hand (2 fingers)...

    What is Wrong with Falcor?

    Hello! Thank you for taking the time and reading my post. I rescued Falcor 4 years ago from a family member who could not care for him properly. Falcor has been the highlight of my life since having him. When I first got Falcor, I chose to continue with the Vet the previous owner went to. It...
