This was sudden onset as of this morning. 10 month old bearded. Circling and loss of balance. Temperature and humidity fine. Has a uvb bulb less than 3 months old with no mesh between it and the enclosure. Everything was fine yesterday. She ate and pooped. I don’t know what to do!! I’m very scared and very upset. Can anyone help? There are no reptile vets near me

Sometimes it can be caused by an ear infection, has she been in the water lately ? Or might she have hit her head on a hard surface ?

What are you using for a uvb? Coil or long tube fixture?

UPDATE: She passed away. I am devastated and I don't understand. This was so fast.
I am so sorry- dragons hide their illness for as long as they can - so I am gonna throw this out there it could of been lack of calcium absorption from what you were describing- uvb is crucial- the 10.0 has certain placement screens will block 30% of the rays- but that is a guess on cause- he could of been sick when you got mirri - 10 months old is pretty young- again I am so sorry and yes it's devastating and a shock as well ❤️‍🩹 my heart goes out to you

The uvb bulb is inside the enclosure no screen blocking it. She got calcium dust on her dubia or salad but only once a day.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m absolutely heartbroken

Hello,

I am so sorry your girl passed so suddenly. :cry: The movement like that makes me wonder if
she had a stroke since you mentioned it came on so quickly.
I am sorry for your loss.

Hello,

It is the worst feeling I know. When it's sudden like that, it is usually something to that extent.
We are all here for you if you need anything. She was well loved & that's what counts.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
