He passed away 15 minutes ago, he has been doing great and I had high hopes for him. I knew the risk was high and that he may not make it but I really got attached to him, either way his quality of life was high when he passed and that is what he deserved. It was too much for his body to...

Okay so he is only two, figured I should ask. Aww poor guy only two and having such problems; luckily they are resilient so hopefully he will make it and make a fast recovery.

How old is your beardie? The symptoms sound like old age to me. Lenny my first beardie was eight when he began deteriotating. I hope they were able to help him at the vets office. Good luck

I went to drop off "Fatboy" today to his owner and he suggested I keep him. I agreed and am now the proud owner of a new bearded dragon, I think he saw how much better he is doing so he knew the right thing would be to give him up. He is doing a lot better; my husband has the camera and is away...

Unfortunately the owner does not have a computer and our library is over 45 minutes away. I am going to print out as much info as I can and make up a menu that he can use. Our town is way out in the boonies and I think this is part of the problem, he cannot afford to go into town as much as you...

I was able to keep him for another week. I brought my beardie and showed him what his should look like, I explained that because of the improper care that it will never look great but he is handsome and he will improve and have a better life. Last night the beardie vomited up his crickets so I...

Well, I talked to the owner this morning and offered to keep him for a month. He will let me know this afternoon, cross your fingers. The beardie is looking a lot better and his energy level is pretty good. I have a feeling he will not be able to walk like a normal beardie though, he can get...

I have been following everyones advice, back off on protein, supplemented veggie babyfood with Rep-Cal, calcium with Vit.D3, pedialyte and a warm water soak. I kept the UVB with no heat on him overnight but he was able to get away if he wanted so I doubt it messed up his schedule to bad. I think...

He is in his mid forties with no wife or children, I think that the beardie is his only buddy. He was telling me how he leaves Spongebob on for him when he is at work and was so upset when I left with Fatboy. I am going to ask to keep him for awhile longer, I was thinking of telling him that his...

Less than 24 hours in the correct lighting and he is now an eating machine, well as much as he can be in his state. Six gutloaded dusted crickets and I am slowly adding the babyfood and supplements, much to his delight. He is actually moving around or should I say dragging himself but it is...

Thanks great suggestion, I am going in to town this afternoon so I will grab some babyfood, probably a few different kinds and a medicine dropper syringe. What's sad is he actually looks better on film, so you can imagine my heart strings especially since he is 3 years old. I appreciate all of...

I will be caring for him for eight days and I have a UVB set up already so I guess I am on the right track. I do not know the owner very well only in passing (only met him two weeks ago at my son bus stop) and saw him holding a bag of super worms. Yes I would like to share my husbandry knowledge...

Yes, I have set up a spare cage with lighting and a basking area. I have also put supplements in the food I am offering and have veggies available to him at all times and he has now taken two bites one yesterday and one today.

The sick beardie is not mine and I have never seen his setup, I have only been watching him for a day. The photo is of my beardie Lizzie in the front and the one I am baby sitting is in the back. http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/chasedasea/pictures131.jpg

Babysitting a sickly Bearded Dragon? I agreed to babysit someones beardie for a week, I only know the guy from my son's bus stop and had never seen his beardie until yesterday. The beardie has MBD (his tail is useless and totally crooked) from calcium deficiency and is so weak he cannot walk...
