Baby Beardie Balance problems

[Apollo1995]

Hey again one of my baby beardie has been acting weird. I actually ordered him with another guy who passed away I'm thinking adeno. My second guy was fine on Tuesday and I come home and he is tilting his head to the side and sometimes he gets these bouts where he flips over in his back and then he flips back over. I have raised 6 babies to adults and right now I have 3 sub adults so I know how to take care of them. Tank parameters are right, reptisun 10.0, tile, temps around 105 basking spot I just have never had a problem like this. Any advice he's a special guy just have had bad luck with this last purchase him and the other dragon

Do you know if he took a fall or had some other kind of injury? It sounds like a limb injury or neurological problem. As you probably know, they tend to hate being on their backs. I'd take "voluntarily" flipping as a sign of a problem and get him checked on by a vet.

He didn't take a fall I was holding him a few inches above the ground and he jumped on to the floor that was it. I gave him a bath after and he's been like that ever since. He's active and everything so I don't know he also likes to have his head tilted to one side

And ya he doesn't like to stay on his back so he flips back over

 

[CooperDragon]

The head tilting is fairly normal to help them see something. It's just odd that he puts himself on his back, I've never seen that before.

He doesn't put himself on his back he will do like an instant flip onto back snd then reflip he doesn't stay on his back not even for a second snd the head tilt he always wants his head tilted even when sleeping

Can you post any pictures or a video of him?

 

[Apollo1995]

Well nevermind he didnt make it. I ordered them both from the same place and they didnt make it

 

[CooperDragon]

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that =(.

 

[Brezzy99]

So sorry he didn't make it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The symptoms you were describing indicated pretty serious neurological problems. There was nothing you could have done to save them.

Hello,

Goodness, I am so sorry that he passed away so quickly.
At that rate, it is a good possibility of Adeno or some other aggressive type of infection.
I am sorry for your loss.
