Well today I had to put my 4 year old bearded dragon, Rufus to sleep. She has battled yellow fungus since she was a few months old, and the medications/fungus finally took its toll on her. We never did get it to clear up completely, even though we tried voriconazole, itraconazole and all the...

I just unfortunately had to put my bearded dragon to sleep due to a 4 year battle with yellow fungus :cry: . I am disinfecting EVERYTHING and tossing what was in her enclosure..the only thing I have on hand is bleach, I'm just curious if that will kill the possible left behind yellow fungus...

Well, Rufus has been in this 2+ year battle with fungus. Now that she's on a newer anti-fungal, Voriconazole, and thanks to everyone who showed her help and support, she seems to be turning a corner! Her color is improved, she seems much happier, is eating more, and black bearding is a thing of...

Going to add colloidal silver to the arsenal i'm fighting my beardies fungal infection with. Anyone have any idea what concentration of it to give?? I found several different ones...12ppm, 15ppm, 30ppm etc. Also...I've heard grapefruit seed extract and liquid echnicea can also be beneficial...

My bearded has been in a fight against a fungal infection for a couple years now..8 months of itraconazole therapy have failed to clear it up, so my vet wants to try a newer anti-fungal called voriconazole. Apparently it has had good success in the trials in which it has been used on bearedie's...

well, it's 9 month's later and the fungus still won't clear up. here's the just: -She was on itraconazole oral solution 1.5ml 2 weeks on 2 weeks off from 12/1/09 to 6/15/10. The fungus came right back as soon as treatment stopped, so apparently it did not eliminate the infection. I was also...

Hello! My bearded dragon has had quite the issue with fungus. Not yellow fungus, but just some sort of fungal infection, anyways... She's been on 1.5ML itraconazole oral solution since December 1st, the first 4 months were 3 weeks on 1 week off, and then I switched to 2 weeks on 2 weeks off...

My beardie has been on itraconazole since Dec 1st. Up until Mid-March she was on a regimen of 2 weeks on, 3 days off. The fungus seemed controlled during that time, the lesions healed and all seemed to be getting under control. Anyways... I know itraconazole is harsh on their systems, so I...

My bearded has been on itraconazole oral liquid since December 1st. The vet has her on the following regimen: 2 week cycles of .10ml , then 3 days off. I'm just curious how long it's safe for her to be on this medication? Its currently the 6th cycle of medication. I'm keeping her well...

Is newspaper okay to use for substrate? Its all out war right now with this fungal infection my bearded has had for over a year now, and progress is being made with the Itraconazole rounds, but i'm worried about the substrates. She had slate, which was too porous and encouraged the growth of...

Well, I finally got my silkworm colony going and its self sustaining, wooooo. Anyways, I've been feeding my dragon about 10 silkies a day + her veggies, the silkies are probably about 1.5 in long?. Just wondering if that is enough? She's a lil over a year old but is somewhat undersized because...

My beardie is currently on an itraconazole regimen and it's affecting her appetite somewhat. Some days she'll eat like normal, other days she'll only eat 1-3 superworms and that's it. I've been giving her zilla jumpstart a couple times a day, its a caloric supplement and appetite stimulant...

My beardie is currently on an itraconazole regimen and I know they need to be kept well hydrated so their kidneys can cope better. She gets 2 soaks a day (with bentadine) which is part of her treatment regimen and I've been giving her water to lap up via syringe a couple times a day. Is this...

At night about an hour or so before her lights go off I take my beardie out of her viv and put her on my shoulder when I do homework. She always snuggles and wiggles her way into the nook of my neck and falls asleep. It's so cute. I was wondering if anyone elses beardies do that? My theory is...

I was in there today to buy some dog food and I was just browsing their reptile area and their beardies are miserable :( . They dont have a basking spot, its overcrowdded, its cold (their crappy stick on thermometer reads below 70) which it may be even colder since the stick on's are...

Hello friends! My bearded is currently on an itracanozole regimen of once per day 0.15ml dose until her "skin lesions clear up". Well, I had a question. Can itracanozole affect their appetite and willingness to eat? I know its kinda rough on them so I'm just curious. She hasn't really taken any...

Hello all! I just ordered my first batch of silkworm eggs off of mulberry farms and I had a couple of questions.... 1) Once they cocoon and emerge as moths to mate, how the heck do I get to the laid eggs without the moths getting out and getting eveywhere? Do they just mate for a few days until...

Hello! My bearded dragon is a little over a year old and is only 309 grams. The vet said she has healthy fat deposits and is not malnourished at all, its just that she's been battling a fungal infection since she was a baby and he thinks it may have slowed her growth quite a bit. My question is...

I'm having some issues with my girl trying to get her to take the meds by the syringe method. Is there any tricks anyone can tell me to get her to take it so I know shes getting it all. She just kinda licks at it as it comes out of the syringe, or is that good enough? Thanks

So its been an 11 month battle with this fungus problem my beardie has had....and after months of it clearing up then coming back, She's been put back on itraconazole oral suspension. My vets theory is that she only did 1 round of last time she took itraconazole, so we didn't treat it long...
