We got her the Oxbow critical fine ground...It is REALLY thick however when we mix it according to the package. Do you guys think we should water it down a wee bit? It is way thicker than the regular Oxbow herbivore stuff is.

From what we could see the Emeraid needs a prescription. The vet is a teaching hospital. Before they sent the Oxbow home with us, but this time did not send the Emeraid or the prescription. They did give us a small ziplock bag with a couple of days of the Emeraid. For now we bought the Oxbow...

Our dragon, Arbiter, was diagnosed last year with MBD, MD and Liver Disease. The vet had put her on Oxbow Herbivore care and now wants us to swap over to something called Emeraid Critical Carnivore care along with a supplement called hepforte. We can not find the Emeraid anywhere or the...

thanks for reassuring me...I am a little overly protective right now since she has been kinda sick..Just wanna make sure she is ok.

I have another thread where I have been asking questions about my dragon, Arbiter's, health. Over the last few months. It can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=243804 Hopefully it is ok to ask this question here and not under that. Anyway, Arbiter was put on herbivore Critical Care recently...

She went back this AM for the endoscopy. They called a little while ago and said she is doing well after waking up from it. She will stay over night to be watched just in case though. She has fatty liver disease. And they said when we come in tomorrow they will go over a diet plan, supplements -...

They sent her home over the weekend with some milk thistle and a water only diet til Monday when she will go back for an endoscopy. They are not saying a thing about a ADV test so yes we can do that on our own and thank you for the link. The vet is saying she is a little over weight, but stable...

I am back with more questions for you guys. Thought I was post on this thread rather than starting a new on. Arbiter has been doing good for a while. However, last night we noticed that he was breathing strange so we took him to the emergency vet at the local vet school last night. They kept him...

Updating you guys again...We did get Arbiter BSFL and he loves them. He is still eating dubias as well. Will NOT eat crickets now...I guess he is spoiled by the dubias and will hardly eat veggies or greens...So that is our struggle now...On his bone disease, he rarely has leg spasms anymore, he...

Cooperdragon has mentioned black solider fly larvae...I am thinking of ordering some for Arbiter. Are these a daily staple like dubias or just a treat? And do you guys think if I put some in his greens he may eat them? I saw some people doing this with mealworms but I want to stay away from...

Here he is, enjoying the best of both worlds lol...laying in the water and eating his salad...We are using a food dish for his water cause we do not want him to flip over and the water dishes are so deep...these are more shallow plus it gives him room to go potty cause like most Dragons I have...

We will do that and I will update again in 30 days when he sees the Vet again. She said that would be it then yearly visits. As far as eating on his own he does well. With the bugs he does spasm and struggle after chasing the first few but he still gets them, he just needs us to help direct them...

Updating on Arbiter...We went back to the vet today...He has been on liquid calcium for 30 days..He was also in the middle of a massive shed which she helped him with. Anyway, she said she would have expected a little more progress in his mobility than she saw. But his bones look good and much...

He does have some fire and some spunk and he is so sweet. On taking him outside everyday my husband said to ask if he will need his tube UVB as well. Because he read on the internet that if taken outside for 30 to 60 minutes a day that is their daily UVB requirements. Seems like they would still...

This final one is from 5 days ago. He climbs a little in it. We are trying to not allow him to climb very much though, just in case since his bones are so soft right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSANZKFHB8&feature=youtu.be

Here is the second one. I recorded it as I came into the room so you guys can see how he gets hyper excited when he see us. He can not control his limbs when this happens. This seems to be much better as well however. It was something that would happen everytime he moved. Now it only happens...

Sorry it took me so long to get a video. Here Arbiter is 15 days into the liquid calcium the vet has him on. He still moves weird of course but does seem to be doing better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjlcGT7EFOg

His appetite is great. He loves the dubia roaches and he finally ate some collards the other day. He has been really picky and only wanting to eat butternut squash. He did not eat as much yesterday but his tail and his arms are about to shed again. He is actually holding himself up normal again...

He already seems to have more energy but is still having a lot of leg spams in his back legs. I will keep you guys updated. Thank you guys so much for all the info.

This vet said she did not test for Giardia. She said he did not have abnormal levels of pinworms, but the first vet did give him meds for that on Monday. This vet gave him Ponazuril for the coccidia. She was not concerned with the pinworms of the Giardia. She was worried about his bones, the...
