My baby Bearded Dragon's hind legs are not moving and there is a swelling in its lower back & stomach area, aswell as it's vent.
Aquarium Information:
22-gallon.
Newspaper substrate.
basking spot of 110-15
Cooler spot of 87-94.
Shallow water dish of approximately an inch and a half, only filled near to the inch though.
Lighting: Reptisun
Beaded Information.
Size: 3 inches
Diet: Small crickets about 3-4 times a day with 3-5 crickets at the serving time.
Calcium and vitamin Sup.
Age: 6 weeks
1 cage mate who is hyper and healthy and also a beardie of the same age. Does not bully the now more sickley one.
The Bearded has a swollen hind quarters and is not passing any fecal matter. The rest of the body will flatten out sometimes and at other moments puff up. He will also stiffen up with front arms at the side(back legs seem limp and aren't used for moving) and head pointed in an arial position. Most of the time when he does this I will slowly and cautiously push the head down with the finger tips of the opposite hand he is resting in.
I will run some warm water in a dish and let him soak in it, while massaging his side, back, and belly with my finger tips.
Please help, I am worried about my Beardie.
Thanks, Ledford.
