Hey there my name is Troy Brennan and I am new to these forums; but not new to reptiles. I bought a bearded dragon from beardeddragoncentral.com, reputable breeder however I have had some issues with my new baby girl!
She has a small kink in her tail looks like shedding is stuck minor problem; she has a respiratory infection.
So my question is does anyone have experience with reptaid and does it help with RI?
Also does any have any experience with FH-10SC; it's a spray cleaner but I have heard it helps with coccedia and can also cure RI?
my beautiful baby girl only weighs 24 grams and I got her Sunday 12/3 at a reptile show in Orlando Florida. she doesn't look skinny at all but she has lost an appetite; however she does eat from what I see 1 live prey item a day. Cricket roach supers I like variety, I would imagine she likes variety.
Symptoms
Since I got her labored breathing but less often since Sunday but I noticed a bubble yesterday from her mouth.
She seems interested but doesn't chase food.
Runny poo/stool
She sleeps starring up at the ceiling
Cage setup
125 basking temp 77 cool side
Night temps I have started using a ceramic heat emitter to help her beat this RI. 77-87 she stays on the warm end. I have overnight ef reptaid and the FH-10SC and a Anti-protozoal from beardeddragon.co better to be safe then sorry, but have not started treatment as of yet.
I have told myself if she stops eating I will be taking her to a vet but she keeps eating the prey items from what I see once per day but I only see her in the morning so she may be eating her salad too.
My question is mainly what can I do to have her beat this on her own? I don't mind a vet bill but I don't want them to put hard drugs in her if it's something she could overcome naturally.
Can beardies beat an RI if kept warm enough and in a clean environmetn? Will reptaid help or should I use the nebulizer treatment with fh-10? Should I just take her to the vet? It's only been 4 days since she's been in her new home.
Sorry for incredibly long lost and grammar I am nervous for her and just want a healthy baby.
