[QUOTE="kmariet47, post: 2001684, member: 111831"] Neglected bearded dragon I took in about a month ago and I am at a loss. As far as I know he is 7-10 years old, had improper UVB at least for the last couple of years. He was being fed hornworms, mealworms and collard greens but was not always eating them nor was he being fed everyday. The pads on his head are severely sunken in. What I have been doing: giving baths with or without the electrolyte soak, syringe feeding (collard greens, butternut squash, endive, dandelion greens, etc. as well as the flunkers reptaboost.) He poops everyday twice a day but sometimes it looks really painful for him. I recently started trying to force feed him some greens and bugs with calcium d3 and probiotics as well as Repashy beardie buffet but the vet told me not to because it could make things worse. I’m going to bring in a stool sample to check for parasites; however, the vet just keeps telling me to leave the food in the tank at all times but I do and it doesn’t make any difference. He has been black bearding sometimes but it’s usually when he’s in his basking spot and it’s too hot for him so I move him. He can move himself but it’s clear he has MBD. Also, I just got him the T5 UVB and I am hoping that makes a difference because right now the only thing that has changed since I got him is he is more alert. Any advice would be appreciated!
