    Chronic Inflammation & possible liver disease

    Thank you for the kind words, but unfortunately I lost Delta this morning. I woke up about 7:30 to her writhing and convulsing in her tank. Her mouth, beard and back would flare up as something was aching her from the inside. I was panicking but I knew she was going😔😭. I tried to pet her...

    Chronic Inflammation & possible liver disease

    So just as I thought things were improving, she vomits :( Been acting real bad for the remainder of the day. Her breathing is labored and seems to ‘jiggle’ her whole tummy. It’s like her body is working overtime; which I know it is… bless her heart. I’m so sad.. I truly don’t know if she’ll...

    Chronic Inflammation & possible liver disease

    Thanks so much for the reply; she had a pretty good day today. Basked quite a bit, maneuvered on her own really well around her tank, and only pooped once today (an improvement for sure— and no blood!) Appetite still isn’t back, but I have been syringe feeding her so she’s still receiving some...

    Chronic Inflammation & possible liver disease

    Update for Delta — my 3 year old beardie who is currently not feeling well. Is suffering from yellow fungus, lethargy, and runny stools. Bloodwork came back, not good news. Her tests basically indicated chronic inflammation, possible liver disease which confirms her dehydration. They say the...

    Beardie might be dying

    Update for today — Bloodwork came back, not good news. Her tests basically indicated chronic inflammation, possible liver disease which confirms her dehydration. They say the next step for Delta would be doing some imaging, like an x-ray or possibly an ultrasound as well. But I don’t think I...

    Beardie might be dying

    Thank you so much for the support— I will certainly let y’all know. They also injected her with some “hydration” in her sides. They looked swollen but seem to have soaked in now. She is basking, eyes closed with a dark beard. Hoping she can make a full recovery

    Beardie might be dying

    Hey there. Just got back from the vet. So they told me that since Delta has dropped weight and is pooping too much, she’s losing calories and must have something more intense than just a parasitic case. So we made the decision to get some blood work done. I was shocked when they said she...

    Beardie might be dying

    Thanks so much for everyone’s concern. Here’s a lil update for today. Delta was basking this morning (woke up about 8:30) and she was down from her hammock. I continued to watch her; she just laid on the ground with her eyes closed. This worried me so I set her back up on the hammock (she can...

    Beardie might be dying

    Thank you for the kind words. I’m afraid you might be correct. Yeah, I did manage to get some yogurt in her — i can only hope for the best now. Thanks so much.

    Beardie might be dying

    Thank you so much for the support you’ve given me these past couple days. I agree, it was shocking. I was so happy when she ate some. But I just feel like I’d need a miracle for her to pull through this ick she’s had for a while. Here’s a pic of her right now. I’ve got 2 heat bulbs and 2...

    Beardie might be dying

    Hello all. Sorry for posting again. But I think my sweet girl might be on her way out. I can’t really believe I’m typing this right now. But even after treatment for pinworms, daily soaks, syringe feeding and nutritional slurries, Delta has not shown any improvements. She’s pooped four times...

    Bloody stool, Black Beard and Inactive

    Oh no :( I had no idea. Could this be why her stool is bloody? Or maybe the stool has an orange tinge to it? Bless her heart.. Idk how to combat this. I’ve been applying her anti-fungal cream, syringe feeding her, several acts. Maybe my next course of action is an x-ray?

    Bloody stool, Black Beard and Inactive

    Hey! Thanks so much for helping me on this thread. This is some really good info; thank you for that.. I will certainly look into EmerAid. I actually blended up some squash, zucchini and water this morning in a blender and syringe fed her that way to try and give her some nutrients. I’m...

    Bloody stool, Black Beard and Inactive

    Yes, I did get some and I managed to reply to your email (and we have talked this morning I believe, about force feeding her some nutrients). She manages to run around really well whenever I take her out, but all she does alone is bask and poop

    Bloody stool, Black Beard and Inactive

    Sorry for posting again. I’m not trying to substitute this forum for a veterinarian, but this is my only alternative right now as I am a minor and I’m unable to make an appointment right now. So if you’ve seen my other threads, my 3 year old female beardie named Delta has been having some...

    Gotcha, and it’s a bit closer than that but her “spot” is not directly underneath the uvb. I’ll show u in this pic. The uvb rod is in the back, and the heat bulb is at the very top of the picture (as you can see, Delta gets very close to it)
