Hi sorry my orignal reply wasnt accurate my Dragon passsed away the other morning at the vets The dragon on serrapeptase did actually do quite well and made a good recovery and is now with a trusted keeper I was that shocked and confused when i replied the other morning because my own wee guy...

Such a shame :( its more frustrating in these circumstances as there are no pre symptoms to know if you can do anything my dragon lost 50g over last 3 months but vet didnt feel that it was yet a massive concern as he was 24 inches long and 800g in weight. Aparts from the breathing episodes he...

Apart from the bloods what were the symptoms of your poor little guy? :(

Yes bloods were done and they came back great even took bloods a second time amd sent to the university for deeper investigative works and nothing bad came back. Yeah maybe i can rule that out then i think he was hiding illness from me for a while. I think i will ask for them to investigate the...

Thanks its just so strange if you didnt know you would never have guessed and the vet even said to me that its clear he is well cared for i really thought id have him home this week. I will update you if i decide to go further and find out i feel i owe it to him Im thinking it sounds very...

The vet was very fond of him and was absolutely gutted that he passed he stayed with him all last night :(

Im absolutely gutted, i had been treating him with asthma meds in nebuliser and they did help but never cured anything and because he was reasonbly healthy otherwise i had planned to take him to the vets quite some distance away next week. Until last tuesday night (1am) i woke up to him scraping...

A quick update there has been no change in my dragon still croaks nebulising helps antibiotics do nothing. If you read back at my post you will see he has had all cultures and everything done and it all came back clear. I have my worries that my dragon has caught Paramyxovirus from a infected...

Thanks Tracie he has 3 injections left which end next friday, but id imagine if he is slowly improving that might turn out to be a few more. I do believe he is improving but sometimes i question it because i see him all the time im.never 100% sure I will update as things progress thanks Tracie :)

Hi hes actually now on amikacin injections. He did suffer from fatty liver disease years ago but just before xmas the vet gave him a full medical and his liver has made a full turnaround and xrays showed no swelling to the liver so i assume that he couldnt see anything else abnormal in the...

I have a fair bit of experience with RI's over the years well when i first got him and put a damp tile in his tank which ended up a pretty resistant infection This isnt like that though and he goes about his daily buisness quite happily does anyone know if choking on food is actually a symptom...

Hi Tracie it started before the meds unfortuneatly he was in getting a cyst removed and was left in for 3 days then upon collecting on the long journey home he started coughing. The baytril was given incase of any secondry infection to the lump and was only given when we got home. Initially the...

Yeaj its really frustrating as he has never had a loose substrate or anything, my vet being over 100 miles away doesnt make constant trips very easy with work and everything. Got phone appointment tomorrow see how that goes see if he has any ideas

No signs of anything unusual with nose or around the mouth area, he also passes feces quite regular so no imapaction lower down feces also came back clear for everything. I do try and see down the throat area when he opens wide and as far as i can see anyway theres nothing but he does choke on...

Hi just before xmas my dragon got a harmless lump removed from his side my vet is over 100 miles away so i used the opportunity to get a full health check bloods the lot and he got a great report. He was left in for 3 days to get lump removed and upon collecting him i was given Baytril incase of...

Thanks tracie, the vet stated 15mg/kg up to 25mg/kg but never actually gave what that dosage would be so thanks for working that out for me at 0.04ml He is slighlty better in the sense that now under the correct lighting and getting supplemented with liquid calcium he is far more alert than he...
