UPDATE: Lyra has been improving. The bump in her belly seems to be getting smaller. She'll eat applesauce by syringe, and has been fighting me quite a bit while trying to feed her lol. Yes she has had mostly bright colors with an occasional black beard. Lyra hasn't black-bearded in a few days...

Reptisun Zoo med t5 just changed 2 weeks ago. And a temp gun. And I have two other beardies with the exact same setup and diet and they are doing very well. It’s not environment I wish it was though. The lights are on a timer and are white UVA as well. I have CHE on for at night since she’s sick.

Hey all, My beardie Lyra has gone down hill rapidly in the last 4 days. Today she has mostly been limp and holding her head only here and there, she drank water and ate 3 superworms at least. She still has bright colors and no black-beard. I'm really really worried that she's dying. Backstory...

Hi, I have a bearded dragon with the same thing, same place even. She has had this bump for about 4 years now and I've been to five different reptile vets for it. First make them do bloodwork, for some reason the vets I've been to were funny about drawing blood, and if at the last vet I hadn't...

She is not shedding, those are her normal light tan colors. There is a clear liquid in her eye almost like a tear that hasn't fallen. And she's keeping her hurt eye closed most of the time. Kelly

Hi, Lyra has hurt her eye and I'm looking for advice. I don't know what happened but it happened yesterday sometime. I think she banged it on something. It's not bleeding, it's a little bit swollen though, appears sunken in, and looks dislocated towards the back of her head. I'm going to get...

UPDATE: Hi, Today was the second opinion appointment. The vet did blood work and her calcium levels are very high (higher than what their machine could do). Also it turns out she has liver disease (that is how the vet said it, she did not say fatty liver disease). The vet said that by the...

Thank you! Yes it will have to be amputated. I planned on getting it amputated even if it was just a bad infection because the bone has been eaten away there. I feel bad for Liz.

Just heard from the vet. She’s got cancer. We don’t know yet if it’s going/has spread or if it’s just in her bump. Cross your fingers it’s just there in her bump. Second opinion appointment is this coming Thursday.

Well thank you! I don’t want to wait too long of course, I just want the best vet for Liz. And the vet we went to today was going to do full on anesthesia not a local anesthetic. There was some other things that made me scratch my head too. And I only want to wait 1-2 weeks, I just thought I’d...

I’m still going to get a second opinion. I’m seeing some red flags from what the vet told me. This has been going on for 3-4 years what’s another week to 2 weeks? Also what video are you referring to? I came across one and the guy’s useing oragel for an anesthetic! That’s insane! I would never...

Hey all, Just finished at the vet. The vet was pretty good. They took a blood sample from it and some X-Rays. On the X-Rays it showed whatever is in the bump has eaten away the bone there. She said as long as it’s been there she suspects cancer. They want to amputate. I can’t say I’m too...

Thank you Tracie! I’m still going to the vet tomorrow. I think there is definitely something going on there and I don’t think it’s helping her. I’m glad that she is happier though. She was dehydrated. I’m a little blown away that the water helped her so much. It’s the only thing I’ve done...
