Hi Tracie - Thanks for the response. I've posted them here: http://i.imgur.com/Bu8k3TF.jpg. Let me know if you have trouble viewing it. I could email them to you. Thanks!!

Hi - Thanks for the response. He IS a good looking fellow :). He does seem to be over the RI and yes, he was gaping pretty often when he had it (and huffing). He's obviously feeling better too because his beard was pretty dark for 2 weeks and now it's all light again. We did have bloodwork...

Has anyone ever had this diagnosed in a beardie? About a month ago we took in an adult male about 4 years old. He had an obvious RI when he came home to us. We took him to the vet and got meds for that and then got a fecal in and he had protozoan parasites. Needless to say, with all the meds he...

I got a wooden viv off of craigslist and need to paint and seal the inside. What brand or type of paint/sealant should I look for? Anything to definitely avoid? Thanks!

Hi - My beardie is (very thankfully) recovering from having fluke eggs in her stool. She also had a pretty awful RI which the vet set was likely a result of having had the fluke eggs so bad. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with them and where they possibly came from. From...

Thanks. Yea, it's a possibility it could be leukemia but won't know more until the pathologist looks. It could be something else still (which I'm HOPING). I'm glad it's the weekend and I can spend plenty of time with her if the results come back bad :(.

Vet got an initial, but not full lab report back today on Puffy. He ordered a more in depth look at whatever it is can show bone marrow problems which won't be in until Monday. He did say liver levels were up but not alarmingly high. He had also looked at the liver during the sonogram yesterday...

Oh no, new urate and it has bright yellow at the end of it - that's liver or kidney problems I think? URG so wish labs would have come back today!

I will definitely post them when I get them (and no kidding are they not cheap! $150 - wow!). I only lasted 2 hours at work. I just had to get back home with her. She's still got a dark beard and just looks like she doesn't feel well. I gave her a soak as soon as I got home. Really hope I...

No eggs :( Vet did xray and ultrasound. He drew blood for lab work and said it was more watery than he thought it should be (he tried it in two spots). He suspects she's anemic - she's also paler than usual - and is wondering about her kidney function since she's had more urates than is normal...

Will do!!

I got at least a few drops into her. Glad I can get to the vet tomorrow! Thanks again for the responses :)

I'm going to try just a little. I know they can aspirate easily and I got some tips from a beardie slave i know who has the same issue. Puffy just will NOT drink unless i can sneak a drop or two in after a bite of food when her mouth is still open. The drops on the nose she totally ignores :(

Thank you for your response :) I've talked to a few other people since I posted tonight and they said the same thing about it possibly being eggs. I've never tried to force water down her, but I'm going to try tonight. I was SOO hoping I'd get away with her never laying, but it sounds like...

Here's some pics. The one her eye is all the way closed is from last night. The others are from tonight. They just looks so flat when she closes them :(.

Just noticed one of the replies on my original post said she could possibly be wanting to lay (she never has before). Could the sunken eyes (dehydration) and black beard/excess urates possibly be symptoms of that too?

Hi - I posted the following in 'health' last night, but now I've got some new things going on. Her eyes look sunken when she closes them and she is STILL black bearding which is SO odd for her. Other than the beard, absolutely NO stress marks though. I gave her a bath tonight. She wouldn't...

Hi - I've had Puffy since June '11 (she was around 3 months old). She's about 17" long and was 437 g at her highest but has not been eating well and has lost some (my scale needs new batteries). I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago to have him look at her tail. It's got a crook about 3 1/2"...

Congrats!!! He's very pretty! You'll have to post some pics when he arrives tomorrow :)
