Hi good Morning My name is Lyllian I own a bearded dragon hes been with me for 4 yrs and hes the baby of the family hes very loved and spoiled in my house but he has a real bad bump at the side top of his tail in between the tail and leg and it hurts him when I touch plus I think its hurting when he poops plz help

Sounds like he should see a vet - could be a cyst/infection. Hard to say though. Do you have a picture? Either way, I would take him to a vet for sure.

Take him to the vet ASAP. It could be a cyst or something more dangerous, like cancer. A vet is your best option.

Yes please take him to a certified Herp vet immediately, especially if he's in pain. It could be any number of things, and chances are that he'll need a Herp vet to treat it. A photo of him and the bump would be very helpful, we might be able to guide you in the right direction. But if he's having trouble pooping that's an emergency and he needs help from a reptile vet immediately.

Hello,

I hope you are able to find a vet to see him.
If you can get pictures of him, that would be helpful. If he is in pain though, it is an emergency & is probably some type of infection stemming from a cyst or abscess.

Let us know how he is doing.

how can I post a picture

I JUST POSTED PICTURES WILL APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN HELP WITH .THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPT AT THE NEAREST VET WONT BE TILL 4/24/17

Unfortunately there isn't much we can do. You can try supplementing with serrapeptase (sp?) to ease pain a little bit.

If your dragon is in pain it is probably worth taking a longer drive to get to a vet sooner.

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

Oh wow, that long before you can get an appointment? How is he doing?
Is it bleeding or draining right now?
Maybe see if they can get you in sooner, if at all possible. Sometimes they have cancellations, or can rework the scheduling.
Is he eating anything at all?
Overall, his body condition looks good.
Let us know how he is doing.

That sounds like such a long wait to get in to see the vet I agree with the others about seeing if you can get him in sooner with someone. That's a pretty big lump.

I'd call the vet and tell him it's an emergency .... things can and do go down very fast with reptiles and this needs to be attended to URGENCY.
