Deformed Beardie

[diamc]

Oh, I'm sorry she's lethargic. What are her temps running? Are you able to give her frequent baths? Might be a good idea to start her on chicken (or turkey) baby food along with some squash baby food, that just might give her the boost she needs. That way, too, you can put a pinch of supplements into it. Hopefully she will lick the mixture off her nose.

I gave her a bath last night. I'll get some baby food next time I stop by Walmart.

 

[diamc]

Good that she got a bath last night, if you can, would be a good idea to give her one daily or every other day. Hopefully you can get some baby food into her very soon.

That poor little baby. You can see it in his eyes. He is suffering. Can you maybe just take him until something else can be arranged? He will need a lot of care and a vet for sure. It hurts to see him that way. How can people do that?

Did you read the rest of the thread? I decided to get her. I agree entirely. That's why I have her.

Oh, and by the way, in the picture she was in an odd position when the picture was taken. Her back isn't that bad, but it's obvious she has problems...

Lyra finally ate her kale! I went to sleep, woke up, and half of the kale was gone! So proud, so proud...

Yay!!
Beautiful name by the way

I'm worried. Lyra sleeps all day, all night, in the same place. When I handled her this evening, the minute I set her on my lap, she was asleep again...is this normal?

what is her weight? This is the time of year where beardies do go into brumation, which she could possibly be trying to do. Do you have her on liquid calcium? I would give her a nice soak and try to get her to go poo. Even though she is deformed, and not in the best of health doesn't mean that she will not try to brumate. And actually I think brumating may be good for her as long as she is at a good weight. You can try putting a box in her cage, I use a shoe box, put it upsidedown and cut a hole in it for a door. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes under it to try to sleep.

Have you had a fecal done on her to make sure she doesn't have parasites?

 

[Sonador]

what is her weight?

I'm not...sure. D: How do you weigh a lizard?

Do you have her on liquid calcium?

I asked a question about it on here, but no one answered. So no, I don't.

Huh-uh. I'll try to get one day soon.

They sell gram scales that you can use to weigh them. I think they might even have them at Walmart. You will need to know her weight for dosing purposes. Www.beardeddragon.co has liquid calcium or www.bug-de-lite.com has it also. I would Also get some panacur and toltaruzil and do a preventive treatment for pinworms and coccidia. You can get those on the www.beardeddragon.co site for cheap.

She should definitely be on liquid calcium at least 3x a week for her mbd.

I was going to get a bottle of that, but I couldn't find any shipping information on the website.

Yes that's it. You just click on to buy and it should bring u to the checkout

 

[Sonador]

Alright, thanks. Does it matter what flavor I get, or...?

 

[diamc]

Hi, it doesn't matter what flavor you get. Mine like the cherry, I've heard that the raspberry & banana are well liked too.

 

[Sonador]

Just ordered some Calci-Blast...and our UVB light should be here by tomorrow. :3 Hooray!

(I ordered it in banana~)
