[QUOTE="Subion, post: 1992522, member: 114709"] Hopefully someone can give me some advice. My bearded dragon I’ve had for 5.5 years has been lazy this last couple weeks. I assumed it was because of the weird weather we have here in WV right now. One day warm then cold for 2-3. I took her to the vet Mon and they did X-ray, ultrasound, and bloodwork. The bloodwork won’t be back for 5-7 days i was told. The other tests show a buildup in her but it’s not eggs the vet said. (She had never laid eggs) it seems to be what forms the eggs. I was told to keep her in her cage for 5-6 hours at least (usually she is out a lot roaming) and under her lights. The vet hopes it’ll help the stuff in her shrink down and I’m suppose to go back on the 15th for another scan. That if there is no change she may need surgery. For last 2 days she just lays under her lights and barely moves. I took her outside because it’s nice out today and she still is doing the same, but I noticed as she tries to walk her left side acts like her left legs are hurting and a little shakey and her right front is just completely weak. You can pick her up and feel her arm and it seems to have little resistance where the others feels like has more of a stronger resistance like those legs have been working out but they are the ones she acts like is hurting and shaking. At most she’ll hold her head up and maybe try to take a step or two while dragging her body. She wasn’t doing this before I went to the vet. So I don’t know if they hurt her maybe taking blood or if something else is going on now. She’ll still hold on to me and she will even climb from my shoulder to behind my neck but she won’t get down to try and walk. I put her in the tub an normally she swims around but tonight she only moved off my hand and laid there until she went potty. Then she started trying to move to the side but she looks like she is struggling. If you hold her a way she don’t like she seems to move her arms well trying to get a grip and her arm seems stronger. But if she’s on the ground or something she struggles. I tried to get ahold of the vet again but now I may not be able to talk to her until tomorrow and they don’t know if they can get me in to see her sooner then I already have scheduled. I tried the only other vet around that sees reptiles and I’m hesitant there because they killed my iguanas when I was younger. If I want to get her in but was told it’d be 5-6 weeks for an appointment and if I do an emergency visit they will try to squeeze me in but don’t know if it would be much different with how busy they are. I really don’t want to see her like this and make her wait. I’ve been so upset since Mon over this I can’t think straight and barely sleeping and it’s only getting worse as now I seen she is acting worse. It all came on all at once she was fine and running around then she got lazy all of a sudden one day when we got up. Could the vet have hurt her? Is there any ideas of what I could try to make her feel better? Does anyone know of a good vet in PA because I’ll drive if I have to. She means so much to me I don’t want to risk missing anything that could help her.. [/QUOTE]
