    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    Would it be harmful to give him that if he doesn’t have liver problems? Or would that help liver function either way and be good to do anyways? And how much should be given? He has less of an appetite, he’s not eating as much and sometimes he’ll only eat if i hand feed it to him, which he’s...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    I finished his injections and had his vet appointment today, he’s still losing weight and we did more labs and another fecal analysis so I’m waiting on those results. The vet said liver disease is a possibility.. Do you know if there are any treatments that can help with that? I’m sure it’s...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    They showed me, I’ve given him injections in the past so I have some experience with it as well. I have both medications for him now, the one to treat Protozoa will be given for a week and the other will be given every 3 days (I can’t remember for exactly how long). I have a replacement Arcadia...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    He seems to be doing alright, I had him out and he was walking all over me like he always does. Still a bit lethargic though, I got another 150w bulb and am hoping it’ll fix the temperature. Update: I took him in to get antibiotics today for the toxicity in his white blood cells, they said to...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    I’ve never heard of that, I’ll definitely try it out thank you! It typically works when I do that with just water, but sometimes he still refuses to drink. Maybe that would help with his motivation to actually drink water and not be stubborn about it. (He’s got an attitude haha)

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    When I call the vet I’ll ask for a copy of the blood test results to be emailed to me, I was hesitant about the medication since they didn’t say anything about an infection being present and I don’t want to give him anything that ends up being unnecessary or would possibly negatively effect his...

    Alright, I’ll order another 150 watt basking bulb instead of the extra UVB. Thank you so much for your help!

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    Will do, and yes I was going to set the Solar Glo on the screen. I ordered that one because the vet said 2 UVB bulbs would be good because of the size of the enclosure, but he didn’t discuss brands with me or anything so he might not know specifics. Should I not get the Solar Glo and just go for...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    I have an Arcadia Prot5 48” 12% UVB kit and a Exo Terra Solar Glo 160W UVA UVB bulb ordered. I have a thermometer in there but it’s not shown in the picture, the current bulb I have for heat doesn’t have it at the proper temperature since the enclosure is larger, which is why I bought another to...

    Anemic bearded dragon with low blood sugar and low protein, looking for help and advice

    My bearded dragon, Sylvain, is 3 years old and has always had some issues. When I got him he was a year old, covered in his own poop and already had a stiff/bent tail due to metabolic bone disease. He has always had some issue going on with his stomach that makes his poop irregular, but the vet...
