BEARDIE PALE AND BLACK BEARD

[Defiantcristy]

My bearded dragon is pale with a black beard she was fine a couple hours ago & she ate and everything but now she seems to be like pushing or something she's moving around the tank in different places I'm not sure if she's laying eggs she's done this before but was never pale with a black beard or i dont know if she's not feeling good she had some kind of diarrhea I'm just really worried about her and not sure what I should do for now I'm just keeping a eye on her and trying to leave her alone so I don't make it worse .

Hello,

If you have pictures of her, please post them. What is her age or estimated age?
If her beard is black & she is pale then she is seemingly in distress. I would highly
recommend trying to find a good vet in case she could be egg bound. I hope not,
but this does happen.
Do you have a lay box made for her?

Hello,

I am glad her color has improved some but the black beard is concerning if it is constant on her.
Can you try to get more oral fluids into her, to help with hydration? Her eyes look a little sunken,
probably dehydration right now.
If you can get an x-ray to help determine whether or not she has eggs, that would be very helpful
in case she might be egg bound. I would also think about getting her on liquid calcium if she is
having trouble with laying.

I've been giving her some bathes to help with the dehydration she does look a bit better was going to try to feed her some greens today see if she'll eat . What brand of liquid calcium do you recommend I will try that

we have been buying the liquid calcium and liquid vitamins from tracie for over a year now. (sir henry won't eat anything with powders on it.) absolutely satisfied with both products. i sent links to them to our vet so he could check them out and he told us to keep using them. would highly recommend!

It would be good to set up a laybox with sand + plain topsoil too.
