****Laz is eating wax worms on his own***** How many should I let him eat? The vet said wax worms are best since they're high in fat and low in protein, but didn't really say how many to let him have. He has definitely perked up quite a bit:) https://youtu.be/OH-IY7bdN0I

The vet called back today with his blood work and fecal results..he said nothing jumped out at him in the blood work, besides high white blood cell count which he said is most likely just from inflammation or the body fighting an infection. He said he has kidney disease/failure due to being so...

Back again... So this may be TMI, but Laz had another bowel movement about 10 minutes ago (his last was Tuesday at the vet). It was pretty runny, is this normal/okay since he is consuming an almost completely liquid diet right now? Or should I be concerned? Also the urate was white, no yellow...

I am to give him one shot every three days, not three everyday, sorry for the confusion:) The vet said to go back and forth between his two front arms when I give his injections so he doesn't get too sore. Also the antibiotics are "Ceftazidime Tazicef 0.21 mls" I honestly can't remember if he...

I was very scared when the vet called me back yesterday. But yes, he is definitely a fighter. They think it could also just be pockets of fluid in the head caused by stress and his poor nutrition..but they said an aneurysm could be a possibility, especially with everything else that's wrong...

*****UPDATE****** We are now calling the little guy "Laz." I got a call from the reptile vet yesterday afternoon, he basically said - He is SEVERELY malnourished - Has slight MBD, but good bone development and no fractures. (Blood tests pending) - No RI - Probably parasites (couldn't get a...

I know, it makes me sick how poorly these beardies have been treated. I've been wanting to take them home for a few months now, so I signed up to take him for the summer. I luckily got one of them, and I do not plan on ever taking him back. I know there have been students who have had animals...

****little update***** I got him into the vet this morning, he will probably be there for a couple days but they should be updating me throughout his stay. They put him in an incubator as soon as we got there, and I told them about the gasping for air and drooling, along with the twitching. I'm...

------------------------------------------------------ I have been washing my hands, however he is in the same room as my other beardie for right now just because it is the warmest room in the house and I want to make sure the ambient temps in his tank stay up. I could move my healthy animals? I...

Thank you so much!! I've been up checking on him all night, and he made it through! I wasn't sure if he was going to at first. Watching him a little bit more I think he definitely has MBD, he is twitching in his limbs and toes, so it must be pretty severe? I'm going to call the vet as soon as...

So today I brought a bearded dragon home from school, I agreed to watch him over the summer and was going to bring him home mid May, but due to the HORRIBLE care he was getting, and overall lack of attention he was being given I decided to bring him home early and try to get him some help...
