Hi all, new here and was hoping I can get some answers!
My little brother has a bearded dragon, he's (the dragon) about a year old. For the past couple of weeks he hasn't been eating his favorite bug (dubia roaches). He's been burping, puffing, and sucking in his gut(?) a lot as well. As I have been helping trying to get him back on his feet, I noticed he started shedding a few days ago.
We have been feeding him vitamin mix that we got a CountryMax and have been putting a drop of olive oil on his nose (I read it helps with impaction). We replaced his light to see if we can up the heat (it is usually a steady 85F). His UV bulb is only about four/five months old. I haven't be able to detect parasites. I do notice that he has a small cut on his toe on his front right foot. I do know my brother doesn't feed him veggies as often as he should.
Along with the olive oil and vitamins, we have tried to give him applesauce. He is still drinking water.
Let me know if you need anymore info! Anything will help, I don't want my brother to lose his pet.
