Just thought that I would update everyone on Hoggle. Last Wednesday morning I had to make the hardest decision of my life so far and took him to the vet to help him on his way and end his suffering. He had stopped accepting food via syringe on Monday night and by Tuesday morning he had a...

His MegaRay bulb is a 100w and is about 8in from his basking spot. I ordered some of Beth Greathouse's probiotics for him. She was supposed to overnight it to us but I guess she accidentally did 2 day shipping on Friday which means it won't be here until Monday afternoon. For now she told me to...

His UVB is the MagaRay mercury vapor bulb. I am going to get some was worms and see if he'll try those this weekend with the carnivore care. When he started his first bout of antibiotics the vet told me not to bathe him so that the wounds would dry. Since his last visit he told me that I could...

Here is a link to his discussion with his whole story and some pictures of him from last week before or last get visit. I'll try to get some new ones loaded tomorrow! viewtopic.php?f=3&t=214907

I will try to attach some pictures tomorrow from my computer. I can't get them from my phone on here tonight. He's in a 40 gal and has one 120w mega ray bulb that puts his favorite basking spot from 97-110 depending on which colors you aim the gun on his branch. His cooler end had a 75w Zoo...

Kind of long but I don't know where else to turn.... A month ago I took in a rescue beardie (his story can be found on under the rescues forum under Hoggle The Rescue Beardie). Hes been to the vet twice and put on two different antibiotics. I dont know what the first was but the second was 5...

Dr.Harbin was pleased with his progress yesterday but wanted to go ahead and get him on a stronger antibiotics via injection for 5 days to finish the job since the first round didnt quite do it. He also added a steroid to his antibiotics to help increase his appetite. Its been a slow process...

here are some pictures of him from the last two weeks This one is a comparison of his wounds after his first vet visit on 3/9 (left) and what they looked like on 3/24 (right) here is one showing some of the spots on his back where the dead tissue is. Dr.Harbin said that they are healing well...

Actually yes! He finished his antibiotics on Tuesday but I wasn't satisfied with how much his wounds had healed. They had definitely improved but were very much still there. I also noticed that he had a new abscess that appeared on his chin. He had also stopped eating again and lost the 15g...

Ive tried to post them a few times but I dont know how lol. I did notice this morning that he has what looks like a new(ish) abscess on his chin. You can see a small bump in the pictures of when he was first rescued over a month ago but the bump is much larger now and looks like it is trying...

He seems to be acting normal. He runs and explores when I get him out to to play and seems to still enjoy being loved on before he goes to bed. He also had a bad tremble when I first brought him home from being malnourished but that has since improved to almost nothing. His appetite has...

So, I took my rescue boy to the vet two weeks ago for what turned out to be a type of staph infection from the poor husbandry that he had (well, didnt have) before he was rescued a little over a month ago. He had numerous open abscesses on his beard that had to be opened and cleaned while we...

Brace yourselves, this is a long one. (you don't have to read it all, there are pictures at the bottom lol) After months of reading and research, I finally decided around December that I wanted to add a beardie to my family. I got the tank, supplies and everything else set up before I even...
