So the vet gave us Allopurinol (Watermelon flavored!) yesterday and Hadron seems to like it. I really hope it works and he will get better. We have enough allopurinol for 30 days so hopefully it works in that amount of time, the vet also did a repeat fecal and wants to do a round of dewormings...

Sorry for the late reply but the culture came back negative which is somewhat frustrating and relieving. So, now he's going to treat it like gout and we're going in Monday to pick up new meds, I'm assuming allopurinol. I just wish he would have started that sooner because i'm worried it might be...

At the time of the blood test the swelling had just worsened significantly so the uric acid levels may have been increasing for about a week? and now it has been about 2 weeks since the blood test. I have been doing black cherry juice regularly and daily soaks. I also have encapsulated black...

Below are the links to a copy of his blood test results. The first link is the numbers and values for each measurement and the second link is the microscopic findings by the pathologist. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-O2Xno97ukKSWlhTXZaeUYwNXlPSnJncVFPU21aV3V3RUZF/view?usp=sharing...

I will try to get a copy of the blood work from the vet but I still give him the black cherry juice. We haven't gotten the culture results back yet but he just looked at a sample in the office to see if he could pick out anything unusual. Another sample was sent to pathology to be cultured which...

So we went to the vet twice this week on Monday and Thursday. On Monday we went for a recheck and he did a needle aspiration and looked at it under the microscope to see if he could identify any bacteria or reason for the swelling. He called us back and said that he didn't see any bacterial...

Ok so the earliest we can get in to see the vet is this coming Monday but he wants to continue the antibiotics (Fortaz) "to see if it helps". He has eaten hardly any roaches this week but I have been making him smoothies in the NutriBullet with his greens and 2 or 3 blueberries plus some diluted...

For some reason the vet wants to finish the round of antibiotics but I will consult with him again and ask his reasoning for it. Hadron seems to like the cherry juice and I will definitely ask about the Allopurinol at our next vet appointment which is coming up soon. I will have to dig up the...

I think I may have posted about by Bearded Dragon, Hadron, a few other times in the past about his health but now it's starting to gradually worsen. I'll post the answers to as many questions as I can below then I'll explain more at the end: How old is your dragon? I got him on May 1, 2015 as a...

Today I noticed my beaded dragon, Hadron, acting lethargic and unwilling to eat. He also has a swollen joint on the middle toe of his right front leg. Yesterday, we took him to the vet for his third deworming and I had noticed the swollen toe then but the vet wasn't able to see us because he...

Today the vet put him on ponazuril. He gave him one dose in the office and gave us another dose to administer in 48 hours. According to him, this medication is supposed to be extremely effective at reducing/eliminating coccidia in about 2 doses. I haven't administered the benebac yet since our...

Thanks! Sorry I must have missed this forum.

Today we had fecals done on my about 6 month old Bearded Dragon, Hadron, and it came back positive for coccidia and a protozoan (worm). Sorry I can't remember the name as the vet told us over the phone. He wants us to begin treatment on Monday so we have already scheduled an appointment to...

I just joined the forums and I would like to introduce Hadron my Orange Hypo Leatherback Bearded Dragon. I got him in early May 2015 and based on his size, I estimated that he was 2-3 months old. According to the specialty reptile store, Hadron is a male and when we first got him he weighed...
