[QUOTE="Sophie_Sammy, post: 1988986, member: 114160"] Hi, my bearded dragon Sammy is around 3 or what I was told when I adopted him. He has been to the vet 2 in the past couple months. He's been just hiding all day and not pooping while not eating as much for about 4 months. We thought he was in brumation as that is what the exotic vet said but he wasn't getting better and loosing weight so we took him in again. He was 540 grams and was 560 the last time we took him to the vet. The vet did x-rays and blood tests. Unfortunately the vet said his uric acid was 6.1 and supposed to be 3-4 which means the kidneys are not doing well. The vet said all we can do is soak him and try to get him to eat salad. He said there could already be to much damage but he doesn't know. I am hoping we can reverse it by getting him hydrated. The vet does not know how long he will live or what the future holds. He told me to come back in about 6 months to check the uric acid again. I don't know if there is anything else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? It makes me feel upset or stressed but I am just trying to do the best for him. Does anyone have similar experience? Thank you, any advice would be appreciated. Some people in the general health thread said I could probably give him some tart cherry juice and drop water on his nose. Does anyone think of anything else to do? Is this hopeless? Do bearded dragons live only a little bit with this problem? He hides all day usually and has a harder time pooping. Also can I use bee pollen? He loves bee pollen and helps him eat. Thanks [/QUOTE]
