Hi there,
My beardie just went to the vet 2 weeks ago and in her stool sample they found the trichonomad worms. She received antibiotics for three days in a row and then again two weeks later. She hasn't eaten in three days, yesterday being the last day of her antibiotics. She hasn't been moving much and hasn't had any interest in moving around. I've read up on the blogs the past few days and as of yesterday, I've been spending 10 minutes each morning and night dripping water on her nose and into her mouth. She does have a slow dripper in her tank and gets a bath twice a week. She gets plenty uvb and has 3 different platforms (varying in temperature) for her to bask in. She gets crickets, worms (super, wax, calci worms, and mealworms [on occassion]). We shake in crickets in calcium coating and feed the crickets the orange cricket food that has calcium boost in it. She usually eats plenty of Mustard greens, Collard greens, and sometimes romaine. She usually loves mangos but has been refusing to eat it as well.
As for tonight, I pulled her out of her cage and we snuggled for awhile until I decided to give her a bath. She struggled to get out and didn't drink like she sometimes does. As she jumped out, she limped along the floor and this is when it became apparent to me that she is having muslce pain or weakness.
Any suggestion/advice is greatly appreciated. We love her so much and hate seeing her in pain.
