i'll pop to the health food shop and see about getting the suggested nutritional supplements. I've ordered some Herptivite but since that will be delivered internationally it will take some time but i can switch to Reptivite in the short term. he can get to within around 15" at the highest...

I've seen it in the upper and lower leg muscles, front and back legs. I noticed it about 6 weeks ago but it happens so rarely it could have been occurring for some time. the UVB is an Arcadia T5 10.0 D3+ with reflector I'm using Repashy Calcium plus(2xper week) and Zoomed calcium(3xper week)...

I took my bearded dragon to the Vets a few weeks back as I was concerned about a few health issues he was treated for a mouth infection. However I also had noticed some twitching in his feet and legs and although this occurs quite rarely I was concerned this could be MBD so I had the vet do...

Got him back home, the test results show calcium levels just below normal but only marginally, and his liver and kidneys are OK. So for the moment his symptoms are a bit of a mystery. I am adding an extra day calcium and have changed his UVB, thought its only four months old, and am varying his...

Couldn't get an appointment yesterday so took him in this morning, they are keeping him in overnight to do blood tests and I should get the results in the morning.

I’ve noticed over the last few months my dragon has been lethargic I initially put it down to brumation however in the last week I have noticed a few muscle spasms in his legs and seen his fingers tremble a few times though this doesn’t happen very often I now suspect it may be metabolic bone...

My dragon is having his teeth cleaned/scaled tomorrow by the vet, since he is going to be anaesthetised should be be fed or not the day before?

you cant get any antibiotics of any form in the UK without a prescription. I'm reasonably sure it illegal to buy or sell.

Quick update, he seems a lot better atm no froth or bubbles round his mouth and his nose is 90% clear and he's moving round again, basking and keeping his head up. 4 days more medication left so that should do the job and was thinking maybe follow that up with 10 days of Reptaid?

Thanks for the reply, its the second time he has had this infection, the first was more more or less this time last year. The night temperature is never any lower than 18oC (65f), i'll raise that up a bit. The UVB is on the roof of the viv so its around 20inches with the reflector and is set...

My bearded dragon has been treated for a respiratory infection for about a week now, the vet prescribed 0.28mg of Marbofloxacin and 0.15mg of Meloxicam every other day with enough for two weeks, but his mouth is still gummy this evening and his nostrils are still getting blocked. I was wondering...

the UVB is an Arcadia T5 12%, i was wondering if he was trying to brumate, but I'm still concerned about the urates and the fact that this seems like an ongoing issue when i say they are rock hard I meant it, so hard in fact wearing a surgical glove I couldn't break it between my finger and...

I am aware this is a rather long post but I thought it would be better to post everything in one go rather than in bits. When I first got my dragon, he was 3 years old he was kept in a 2x1x2 glass viv without proper heat or UVB for an unknown length of time. His previous diet consisted of, as...
