What are you using to measure these temperatures? If it is a stick on thermometer he is likely too hot because those measure air temp and are quite inaccurate. You should be using a probe/digital thermometer to measure the precise basking spot temperature where the strongest rays hit as the...

With some dragons you need to be patient with it and continuously drip water off their nose for some time before they actually register what is going on and that they can drink it. It takes mine a little while to catch on sometimes but once she gets those first few licks she will know what is up...

How far is the UVB away from him in the new set up? If it is too close it could be contributing to eye, appetite and energy issues. I just found out mine was too close and moved it yesterday and am already seeing improvements in my baby. I believe the one you have should be 10 inches or so away...

Oh my gosh... :o The improvement in him from when you got him till now is crazy amazing and so inspiring for anyone dealing with a sick beardie. He looks like a totally different dragon.

I agree with ABHD. 1 ML per day is a really high dose for a baby that size and without the proper probiotics it is probably really upsetting to her tummy, attributing to her not wanting to eat. Please double check with your vet. When my dragon was prescribed Panacur it was .1 ML per day for 5...

Do you have a timer for his lights so they automatically go on and off at certain times? That would be my first and biggest concern. As for food you could leave some worms in a bowl and his usual greens/salad so that he has something to munch on for at least half the time you are gone - but...

Heh, don't worry about it, I am the same way and it's always good to be observant. My last dragon also got sick very quickly and passed away after a short time as well so I have been obsessing/paranoid over my new one too.

That looks pretty normal to me. The tip of their tails are often a bit darker than the rest of them and can look sort of dry like that.

I was just wondering how long phoenix worms generally live for? Would feeding them and using a method such as this thread viewtopic.php?f=76&t=191525 keep them alive any longer then if you were to just leave them in the container they come in?

Thanks guys.... She is definitely gone, she must have passed when I was out getting the CHE and looking for the probiotics. I'm really in shock. I haven't cried this hard since my best friend died. I really didn't expect this at all... she seemed to be doing okay last night and after coming back...

Oh my poor baby girl... I think she is gone :(

They didn't have the special probiotic and the damn superstore has 100000 yogurts but not a single one was without dairy. I got bio best plain probiotic 90% lactose free, it was the best they had. Will giving her a little bit of this be okay or will the dairy do more harm than good?

She is keeping her mouth open now and looks just miserable. I hate to leave her like this but am at the bus stop now and should be back with her stuff soon.

Not yet I am still at home but will be heading out soon. Ill grab some soy yogurt if they don't have that. She won't even move around right now let alone adjust herself. If I pick her up and place her somewhere she stays exactly the same, doesn't even move her little head or legs. It's been...

She is almost totally unresponsive today and looks very bloated. Is this a normal reaction to parasite treatment ?! I'm so scared she isn't going to make it.

Okay. Thank you. I will pick one up tomorrow and hopefully they also have some benebac.

Also, I have heard it is good to keep the enclosure temperatures a bit higher over night for sick dragons, especially when dealing with parasites. Do you think it would be good if I picked up a CHE? Night temps in her enclosure and the apartment don't ever drop below 70 and usually hover around 72.

Hi, yes kind of, a theory at least, it's pretty similar to what I suspected actually. He doesn't think she has MBD or any major deficiency like that. He thinks that it's a combination of the parasites attacking her system/using up her resources and that since she is still so young her sudden...

The baby and I just got home from the vet. They gave her some vitamin injections and the small amount of fecal she passed that they were able to test came back positive for parasites at higher levels than normal so she will be starting Panacur today for 5 days, 0.1ML per day. Once the 5 days is...

I don't have any advice to add but just wanted to say I totally feel for you and your little guy, I also have a sick baby who I've been assist feeding and my biggest concern has always been accidentally hurting her while desperately trying to help her - it must be very difficult situation. Best...
