Almost a month ago, I lost my bearded dragon, Faust, to cancer. I did everything I could but he couldn't keep fighting. I thought it would take me a long time before I would be emotionally able to get a new bearded dragon but I realized that I needed a bearded dragon in my life. So that brings...

Faust Engelmar was extremely important to me. I was in a rut when he first came into my life and he lifted me out of it. He had cancer but he didn't let that bring him down. He was a warrior. He woke up after his amputation despite the odds, and gave me 3 wonderful weeks of snuggles, cuddles...

Over the past week, Faust had taken a turn for the worst. I was giving him his formula since he wasn't eating on his own, yet he was rapidly losing the weight he had put on. After a bath last night, he started to puff up his beard and thrash around, Then suddenly he went limp, I was sure he had...

Faust just had his first check up since the surgery 2 weeks ago. He's made great progress since then, he's walking and getting around his tank without any problems, he's even climbing and running when I try to give him his meds. He has gained weight since, and he even weighs more now than he did...

Yesterday I dropped Faust off for surgery at 10 am. It was sometime at 2 that they confirmed to me that he was in surgery. At some point, a vet I haven't met in person called me to tell me about how the surgery is progressing. She told me that they found that the tumor had gone through his chest...

Faust's amputation/tumor removal surgery is scheduled for Wednesday March 8, if you guys could keep him in your thoughts, he and I would very much appreciate it. I'm trying to remain positive and hopeful that the surgery will be successful and that he'll make it out ok, but you know, there's...

She did yes, she did a fine needle aspiration on the 14th and I got the results last Friday confirming the cancer :(

Just came back from the vet after his ultrasound, and it's given me hope. He has no tumors anywhere else in his body, and his sarcoma seems to be travelling down his arm as opposed to into his chest so surgery is an option. The only challenge would be preserving enough skin to close the site...

I'll have the clinic email me the x-ray, but the location of the sarcoma makes it impossible to fully remove. It's in his shoulder area, and it already claimed his clavicle. The ultrasound is on the 24th of Feb, and will determine whether he has any tumors anywhere else in his body, although the...

I purchased a bearded dragon from petsmart 4 years ago. For the most part he has been a very healthy beardie with no problems until recently. He was diagnosed with cancer. There's a possibility that it's genetic, or just random like how people can develop cancer without a history of cancer in...

I'm sorry to hear about Gaga's mass, I hope it's benign. :( I'm treating Faust the same way, prior to his diagnosis, his vet had told me to put him on a diet, but I've since stopped his diet and let him eat as much as he wants :(

Got a call from his vet today. Faust has a sarcoma. Amputation would only decrease the tumor size, but given the location, it would not be removed completely. To say I am devastated is an understatement, but I plan on making his life as comfortable as possible. :( Scheduled an ultrasound to...
