Message: [QUOTE="rubymiss, post: 1977795, member: 104660"] HI Recently I heard couple owners lost their BD due to enlarged heart and congestive heart failure, which make me sad cause their BD all received treatment from vet early and seems getting better but still passed in a month, BD all around 6yo. I search some information about BD heart issue and read some cases, symptoms for BD heart diseases like low appetite, quiet, lethargy, blepharedema, X ray reading, effusion, but I don't see the cause of the disease and how to prevent it .Most of the information are for people heart health instead of reptile. The reason I am so curious about BD heart health is my 2.5yo BD MIGHT has similar situation like heart disease(I hope its not), she always not so hungry, quiet, less active and smaller size, she looks more comfortable to sleep with head up and be hold vertically. She has normal husbandry, good lightening, and even vet blood work and x ray shows normal, I know sometimes all those vet check and numbers are normal but BD still pass for no reason. I start to worry about my baby after I saw those cases and symptoms, what if my BD has early stage heart issue, what I can do to prevent it from getting bad, what tips I can follow to promote my baby's heart health, I hope she could live long and be active. anyone has experience or suggestion plz let me know! Thanks you for reading and help! Ruby [/QUOTE]
