I got some black cherry juice today. I think I will give her that and keep her nice and hydrated over the weekend and just see how she does. Thanks again everyone for taking the time to respond.

If her quality of life was that bad I would put her to sleep. I would never force her to endure pain just because I can't let go of her myself. I accepted the fact that I may have to make that decision the day I got her, as with any animal. I have seen cases of beardies with gout that have been...

Thanks everyong for your input. I would be inclined to want to start giving gout medication to see how she reacts but the vet did not even mention starting to treat for grout. His only options were putting her to sleep or risking surgery to remove the eggs and which might kill her anyways. I...

Thank you Tonja. I really appreciate the response. I also feel that it is not time to euthanize her. If the time comes, I will let her go to end her pain, but I don't feel like that is what it has come down to yet. I had read about black cherry juice and was wondering if it was worth getting...

Hello fellow lizard lovers, I have seen lurking on here for a couple years. I have four rescue beardies that have been doing great until recently. I took my newest rescue(have had her 4 months) to the vet for swollen limbs last week. I was expecting goat. Blood/urine testing showed that she...

This is horrible :angry5: I would imagine that freezing to death is a long torturous death. No living creature should be forced to go through this, especially by a so called animal "rescuer". Many people essentially collect reptiles and call it rescue to justify it. Have they been reported yet?

oh and what is the current temperature in the tank?

My last rescue was supposedly around a year old and was extremely small for his age also. He was totally neglected and practically dead when I got him from some shady character off craigslist. I was able to get him healthy, and he is growing like crazy. Based on that I can suggest... BATHS...

Okay so I sent the rescue a message through their website and there was a delivery failure. I sent them a message on Facebook and also commented on their profile. I have gotten ZERO response. I know they use their Facebook as they have posted photos and stories about other rescued reptiles and...

I just sent an email to RARN (Reptile and Amphibian Rescue Network) which is located in Los Angeles asking if they can help or know of anyone in the area that can. I will post an update if they reply.

Horrible, I really wish I lived closer. There must be some reptile rescues or an LA area herp society to contact for help. I would advise against shipping a beardie in this bad of health.

Some beardies will eat less when they are shedding since shedding can be stressful for them. He looks a little underweight to me though. Has he been loosing weight? If he is eating plenty but loosing weight then it could be parasites and should be taken to the vet ASAP.

I saw the one in Monterey the other day and felt so angry. I live one county over but would have a hard time getting there, if it is even still alive. Makes me so mad! I would love to rescue that poor guy. I just rescued a practically dead juvenile off craigslist and am happy to say he is doing...

I applaud your kindness. It is so sad to see him suffering from MBD. Here are some things that I have learned in my experience and in my research. I have a couple rescue beardies as well though none have MBD like Spike. I really recommend phoenix worms(larva technically), as they are soft...

Hello all, I am new here. Saw this poor beardie this morning and live to far away to save it. It's jaw appears deformed in the photo, looks to me like it has MBD. It is not healthy as stated in the craigslist ad. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/for/3717664270.html Anyone near by and...
