Thank you Traci. There's currently no swelling. It must have been a bad photo. I finally found a vet that claims to actually be board certified in bearded dragons.
Can't recall if I told you that the main reason I began to doubt the guy I went to early on, (before I leaned a lot more from you and all the great folks on this site) but I stopped going because I felt he wasn't as knowledgeable as he first seemed. He would offer a typical ointment for an internal parasite! (This was a place called "We're Animal Hospital) The new place I found, where I just scheduled an appointment for RJ (REX JUNIOR) at, is called Bulger Vetinary Clinic!
So I will soon get him the full run down. Physical, X-ray, blood work, etc...
I simply haven't been able to as it seems senseless to do such things at place where for something as simple as parasites is not treated properly.
I will pick up some of what you suggested until his appointment comes around.
There's NOTHING I wouldn't do for him. He is 5 years old and I love him so much. He's ADV POSITIVE, been parasite free for 4 years! He's my third dragon. REX and copper only made out until 2 yrs old before ADV got the best of them. So sad. But RJ has prevailed over it all, so I will do everything I can to ensure he can continue to beat this awful virus!!
In regards to baby food, I can't find any chicken or turkey baby food that doesn't have broth/gravy or other additives.
Also, regarding the squash, I've always given him summer squash, one of the few veggies he'll eat willingly, but for baby food I find only butternut squash, no summer squash. Is this acceptable?
Lastly, regarding the cherry juice, what should the ratio be? Like if I mix up a bunch of greens and baby food, how much juice do I add to it?
When I've done baby food with calcium and multi in the past, it usually just sprinkle a bit of each in the baby food, an amount that he'd likely get in a feeding of dusting bugs. So I guess I'm not entirely sure how much of the calcium and multivitamin should be mixed in either.
Sorry Tracy one more thing I wanted to ask, what would the dosing be for the Allopurinol?
And where were the best place to be to get it?
I see they have some on chewy.com but not sure if you knew a place with a higher quality brand. Thank you
