Bearded is sick

[Red182]

My bearded dragon has had a problem for a couple months and is lethargic, losing weight, isn’t eating, and is not pooping I just got liquid calcium for him and I also put another UVB light in there but he seems to wanna be on the cool side instead of the hot side

When you get the new uvb it's going to help him w/ his calcium as of this moment he isn't able to do that -- we need Tracie to address the calcium regimen

Hello,

I am not familiar with the UVB light brand so as Karrie suggested, one of the brands either the Reptisun
10 T5 or the Arcadia D3 12% or 14% T5 tubes. The UVB exposure is crucial for their health & helps with
absorption of the calcium & other vitamins & minerals, too.
Which liquid calcium do you have? How old is your dragon?
