Yes. The UVB is the 14% arcadia bulb on mesh top and either the 60w or 75w basking bulb to reach 95-100 degrees. Would like to mention he has taken a couple of falls but landed on carpet. Just trying to think what might be the cause. Also, when at the vets, do you think having x-rays and blood work should be taken as well since he is 6 years old?

Ok. Also just dropped off the fecal sample and wont know until a couple days. So hopefully Friday but if not then possible Monday. Just trying to see what is the most important thing to do. I am not sure how much $$ this is going to cost for x-rays and blood work
Also noticed he has this crusty stuff around his eyes and lips... at first thought it was shed but its not he recently just shed. What is it? Is he dehydrated?
Hmmm odd.. so I took a warm wet cloth and wiped it off. Came off real easily. Did a search and found this "A dehydrated bearded dragon will often have sunken eyes, a wrinkled tail, and dry, flaky skin." He may not be severely dehydrated but mild?

Possibly - please offer him water by dropping or spraying his head w/ water and see if he will lick it -- keep dropping or spraying water till he stops or moves away -- you can take and place him on a salad plate spray his head and let the water run off on to the plate and see if he will drink it off the plate - I would do this every few days - I 've got a dragon that cant see very well and hes not been eating his salads - has a hard time getting the roaches and I haft to help him and this is how I give him water - we just got him over a liver infection - he was dehydrated so I am giving him water every 2 days w/ his roaches and feeding critical care herbivore every other day
Did he drink very much? You can tell if hes dehydrated by his poops if the urate is dried out by chalky looking as well - it should be moist along w/ the dark poop
Hes dehydrated at least you got him to drink some water - keep giving him water every day -- if he goes on meds for parasites you will need to keep him hydrated - is he eating?
