HI
My beardie Nioka was being treated for an abscess in his jaw for the last couple of months but I've noticed he's not walking properly as well. Kind of flopping his way around. Had him at the vet yesterday and she took blood and did an x-ray on his arm after he flinched when she manipulated it. Got another type of painkiller (now on both metacam and tramadol) to see if that helps but I'll take him back if it doesn't do anything. I noticed tonight when I was feeding him that he was having difficulty lowering his head to pick food up from the ground and his head was almost vibrating as he did so. I fed him the rest on tongs at mouth level so he didn't exert himself and that was fine. He's still having difficulty moving though but the vet said he was going crazy glass dancing in their viv, might have been stressed out in there though and wanting out. I'm quite worried about my baby
Someone on another forum mentioned MBD or adenovirus but his x-rays have always showed strong bones/good bone density so they don't think it's MBD. She said they could test for adenovirus but she didn't think it was that either she thinks it's pain coming from his shoulders. I feel so bad for my little man
