Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I see 3 domes is one of the domes a UVB? If so they are not good --- the best UVB's are long tube fixtures like a Arcadia Pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb 24 watt --- found at Pet Smart - another is a Zoo Med 24" fixture w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a Sunblaster Nano Tech w/ the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb --- it would be best to have it place directly over the basking decor unobstructed 12-15 inches

Here are the pictures
I’m going to give him 0.5 ml of pedialyte today. Yesterday he was very tired. He slept for awhile. His eyes are almost constantly closed, and his beard is usually black around the tips. When I give him his pedialyte or antibiotic, it turns pitch black. He still won’t eat anything, but his stomach is still really big. He still won’t poop. We’re going to try to get him a UVB lamp today. His stomach is really bloated. Is there any way we can get him to poop? He’s still breathing and very weakly. Sometimes I have to watch him to make sure that he is breathing.

Oh poor baby and you . We are all sending positive healing vibes. You’re a great dragon owner . I agree with critical reptile powder mixed in pedialyte . Hope today is better

Pharaoh just died
Thank you all for your help and for your kindness.
I appreciate it greatly
Thank you
I am sorry to hear --- from the pics he didnt look that bad off -- but looks can be deceiving and we dont always know what is going on w/ them internally-- again I am sorry to hear this

I'm so very sorry, I know you must be devastated. :( I believe it was likely carcinoma, too many beardies with symptoms just like Pharoah had and there's no cure. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you on the loss of your beardie boy.

Hello,

I am so sorry that you lost Pharoah, bless him. :cry: It is so sad that so many of these precious
dragons are getting health issues that are so severe.
My condolences to you.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
