Hey All, Looks like this problem may have escalated.. For the first time since I noticed this issue, Koopa's arm is actually inflamed. I must admit I haven't been giving him the calcium liquid that much and I don't feel great about that... Apart from not really putting pressure on his arm...

Sorry to bring their post from the dead, but I was hoping someone could help me out with and answer is possible. My eldest bearded, Koopa, has an issue with his front right arm being inflamed. Would like to get him to a good reptile vet in the area if possible. Cheers, Payne

Hey Tracie, It's been a while. Koopa has been very well, but seems like brumation has kicked in. This means his eating has gone down significantly, and seems like his leg is playing up more than usual again. We haven't had to use the liquid because he was eating the powder with his food. I...

Hello Tracie, Thanks for the help, I will get some into him first thing tomorrow morning (they have gone to sleep now). Koopa shouldn't have MDB as he has always had ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent, and calcium powder on his food his whole life. He still won't put much pressure on it if he doesn't...

Hey Tracie, Thanks for the reply, and apologies for the late response. Been a bit crazy over here with a heap of life related stuff and just becoming unemployed... Anyhow, I have popped Koopa on the scales and he is currently 568g. My other 'little' fella Gilbert is 720g. It's funny how much...

Hey Tracie, I have finally got the liquid calcium after quite some time. Just wondering if I can get a hand on how to give this to the little bugga. There is an image of the back of the bottle HERE for reference. Thanks for the support and help. Payne

Thanks, Tracie. Too answer your questions; he is still eating well, and he is moving around quite a bit by himself but I am also encouraging movement. When I had him out in the sun yesterday, I slowly stretched his arm in and out and he let me. This is what I did last time hoping it...

I am having trouble finding this in any pet stores around here, and also anywhere that delvers it online to Australia. What is the full name of this so I can be sure I find the correct one. EDIT: I think I found one HERE. Can I please get confirmation this is the correct type. Is there...

Hey All, I'm not going to freak out again, but it came back yesterday night... He is yet again struggling to put weight on his front right limb. I have him out to try encourage movement, but it is very strange that it has returned. He can walk maybe a few steps and then you see the strength...

Hey Tracie, Just thought I would touch base with an update. We returned from NZ today and the little bugga is showing no sign of a sore limb... In other words, he is back to his normal goofy self (running in circles and into walls which is normal behaviour...). Thanks for the help, really...

what the hell is going on? When I posted my thread on the 13th and was nothing on here that I could find for advice. Now I see three different cases (including mine), within a similar age. I don't understand.... Are you guys in Australia as well? Are our dragons synchronizing their injuries!!

Hey All, Unfortunately, he has made no improvement. I am quite concerned now as it has been 10 days and he is unwilling to put any pressure on his front right leg whatsoever. My partner and I are heading away to New Zealand soon, and every reptile vet it over 1 hour away. I have felt his leg...

Hey Tracie, He has definitely hurt it somehow, just not sure how bad... I think my over reactive parenting kicked in and panicked hard when he couldn't stand. Have a look at the images I put above. You can see how he is hanging it down and the other 3 limbs are griping the branch. Problem...

I only use ReptiSun 10 globes. He hates things going into his mouth, so very hard to get a syringe in. He gets a light dusting on all food (salads and insects). Been mainly trying to feed meal worms to pack a bit more weight on during the cold season. I had written up a better post, but this...

Have had him out in the sunlight most of today, gave him a syringe of Rep-Cal Vitamin D and water. Have kept him in the bath for the past 40min to see if he will poop, but unfortunately nothing. Upon further inspection today, it appears as though it might be one of his limbs (front right) that...

Hey AHBD, I am currently in bed, but I will get accurate information in relations to his weight, length and so on in the morning. He hasn't really grown for years, but am due to weigh them both due to the warmer weather coming about. He is about 4 years old, and generally quite active for his...

Hey All, Been a while since I have needed to post, but unfortunately not back with good news. My oldest beardie, Koopa, appears to have lost full mobility. Both my boys have been in Brumation down here is Melbourne, so have gotten used to them just lazing about. For the past 4 or so days...

Does he ever! The little bugger has not been eating well since he came out of brumation and lost a bit of weight. Although, his activity levels are through the roof and constantly wants to be let out of his enclosure to sit in front of the window. Problem is that the older boy does the same and...

Thanks heaps, Breazy. I will do this during his weekly bath on the weekend. Sigh of relief its nothing serious. Kind Regards, Payne
