Hi guys! Vet basically said similar to you guys and agreed she should be fine but to keep and eye on her. And continue doing everything I’m doing which is reassuring :) glad I don’t have to bother her with more antibiotics! Thank you for all your help - maybe just a genetic thing as you...

Okay I’ll make sure to ask about that to the vets. What would you do? Here are some pics I’ve managed to get of inside Joeys mouth! Please let me know what you think.

Yeah she eats bugs pretty normally and ate greens today and yesterday no problem. Is a biopsy and a culture the same thing? Why wouldn’t you if so? Is it unpleasant for her? What would you do with the vet visit tomorrow? I want to avoid another set of antibiotics without truly finding what/if...

I’ll buy that - I have used tamodine on it - is that a spin of iodine? You said you can see it slightly and it can be pretty common - do you think it’s still mouth rot? I agree I wouldn’t want to put her through medication but at the same time hate the thought of her being in pain. Would you...

Thank you for your reply. Thanks for the photos - I think Joey has that with the curled lips maybe less severe? The vet didn’t do an X-ray as far as I know - I wasn’t allowed in because of covid. I’m going to attach lots more photos taken just now (excuse the green around her mouth I just gave...

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to reply and help me. Her jaw does close on its now however does droop/protrude out. With all other traditional bearded dragons I've seen (google) the lower lip looks healthy and meets the upper lip and forms a seal. That isn't really the case with Joey (my...

Hi Tracie, Yeah it wouldn't make sense for it to be a bone issue. I use a 4ft UVB reptisun tube with a reflector installed and always have. Replacing it every 6 months. I want them to do a culture and I think that will be best - are they invasive on my beardie? Do you know how long they take to...

Hi Tracie, Thank you for your reply. How could I tell if he has an abscess? It's on both sides of his jaw and it protrudes out and kind of unfolds slightly? If I'm honest I don't see day to day changes - he's had it for so long. It looks less orange when I pull his lip back but it's still...

Hello, Perhaps the photos don't do it justice - I'll try and get more when I'm home this afternoon. It can't be a bite as I don't let any bugs stay in his viv overnight. His jaw is definitely quite swollen and almost squishy (although not MBD as I asked the vet to check that). I will try the...

Thank you, I’ll try that.
