If I am feeding my dragon a diet of greens high in calcium (dandelion greens, collard greens, mustard greens, etc.) would I still need to dust the food with calcium powder? Just want to make sure I'm not giving too much calcium, or not enough.

Since the UVB isn't doing much, I took him outside to get the real thing and he seemed to enjoy it. He perked up a little bit and even ate some dandelion greens on his own! I definitely will be replacing his bulb ASAP. He is now enjoying a warm bath to get hydrated and hopefully help with his...

Can I still use the Arcadia T5HO 12%UVB tube without the t5ho reflector hood? The hood I use for his current UVB is bolted on the inside of his terrarium and I don't know how easy/if it's possible to replace. Also, can I just use a T5 reptisun instead of Arcadia, for some reason I can't find one...

That makes sense that he wouldn't be very hungry if he is sleeping so much. But I haven't tried butter worms, since I live on a small island in Alaska the bugs that are available to me are extremely limited. Also, he just isn't interested in any sort of insect.. I bought him 500 crickets a...

Somewhat of good news, I got him to eat 2 full dandelion leaves with a little bit of honey and colloidal silver (those are what I use to treat his illness), and a couple drops of water. It's not a whole lot but it's a start! Just hoping he will keep accepting some amount of food. But a weight...

That's the best I could do, I didn't want to disturb him. Also, I know his eyes don't look good, that is part of his illness he has had for awhile.

@cooper dragon, It doesn't look like he is losing any weight. I can post a picture of him so you can see if he looks too skinny.. Is it normal for them to not eat for this long, he has never done this before.. Also, he completely refuses to eat any sort of insect and has been that way for years...

Hello everyone.. Unfortunately, my 10 year old male bearded dragon has completely stopped eating. For the past 2 weeks or so he has completely refused any sort of food, which is not normal. I have tried changing his food source from dandelion greens to collard greens to fruits to really anything...

Just a super quick update, he is doing absolutely great. Other than the growth in his mouth, he seems like a completely normal dragon. Eats everyday, has a bowel movement about every other day, he is currently going through some shedding which I'm happy to see! So I will continue the at home...

Hello Tracie, he is doing fine today, thanks. I will keep those medications in mind incase anything gets worse. I intend to trial the at home remedies before I jump into more antibiotics, especially since I don't know how my vet would respond to that. Also, unfortunately since I live on a very...

In reply to Ellen, all great points. I completely agree with everything you've been saying. My local vet has just about zero experience with reptiles, so not much hope there unfortunately.. Another problem is that the lady who I'm communicating with over the phone about the results knowns...

He was just fine today. He ate some of his greens, had a bowel movement so I had to give him a bath, but he went right back to eating after that. So I would say he is doing pretty good for what is going on.

Too add to my previous reply, I only took a mouth swab not a needle aspiration. The lady who called me only said these exact words... "He has Pseudomonas, a growth and a secondary infection which is incurable." Not awhole lot of information there to start with, and she didn't have anything else...

None of this makes sense to me either... My vet doesn't deal with exotic animals/reptiles at all so I can understand why they are not making sense.. The girl who called to tell me the results didn't know anything about the infection, or much of anything really, which was absolutely no help. I...
