Poor girl, still not feeling well. Can you post a couple of full body pictures to show her condition ? And BTW, Pedialyte baths won't help at all unless a dragon drinks it. In her condition it's best to limit the baths, that can cause a chill or general discomfort.
The vet was helpful. My family trusts her a lot she works at the same clinic that we take my epileptic dog to. I clinic works with dogs, cats, and exotics. She is the one who said it was a teeth problem and gave me antibiotics. Bug was actually doing great for about a month before she when downhill again. I think the treatment was effective but she stopped eating after she ate a mealworm(which is probably on me). My main concern is that she just not getting any better.I can't remember how much help the vet was or not. What was the treatment and if you think it wasn't effective can you try another vet ?
Oxbow Herbivore / Omnivore -- its really good stuff -- the vet may have it they usually do or you can order it on line --- it is very thick so you will need to water it down and if she licks it off the spoon that is great if not syringe feed but you will haft to snip the end of the syringe off so its wider and the stuff can come out --The vet was helpful.

I decided to start giving her the gel medication because its the only thing I have left before turning to the vet again. I'm trying to force feed baby food but i think its too sugary which obviously won't help. Is there anything else that is better for her?
ok thanks ill see if i can get it. My only issue is she is a very picky eater especially now (and by picky eater i mean it takes about 15 minutes to get her to eat maybe a fourth of a syringe)Oxbow Herbivore / Omnivore -- its really good stuff -- the vet may have it they usually do or you can order it on line --- it is very thick so you will need to water it down and if she licks it off the spoon that is great if not syringe feed but you will haft to snip the end of the syringe off so its wider and the stuff can come out --
Please post a pic of the mouth --- we can have some others on here take a look --- then advise can be given - your vet is it a reptile vet? If not I can post a website to find one in your area if you need itok thanks ill see if i can get it.

Do you think this stuff and the teeth gel will be enough to help her or should I take her to the vet?
OK i'm more worried cause shes had some bubbles in her mouth and is very agitated right now. Her colors have been changing. Sometimes she pretty dark and other times shes very light. I will wait on the vet for now because I'm giving her another round of teeth meds. If that doesn't work I will take her back. (I'm really hoping I won't have to because I literally have $3 to my name but I definetly will if I need to)Hello,
What type of baby food were you giving? As suggested, the herbivore care or critical care would be
helpful for added nutrition. Some of them really like it & others don't. I always suggest adding in some
squash or sweet potato to make it taste a little better.
Has her beard been normal color or has she been black bearding any?
I hope she gets to feeling better soon & you don't have to take her back into the vets.

The bubbles arent coming out of her mouth but they are there when she opens her mouth. I haven't been able to feed her because she gets upset when i even come near her mouth. Unfortunately, I've decided to take her to the vet again not only cause shes not eating but also her lips are pretty swollen. I think it's the best thing to do because I've already been trying to help her at home for months and nothings working. Thanks for all your help. I will definetly update soon.Hello,
When do the "bubbles" happen, right after you feed her, or are they present all of the time?
Be sure to feed her slowly so she doesn't choke or aspirate on her food.
Are you keeping her warm overnight too for help with boosting her immune system right now?
I hope she is feeling better, I realize it is stressful when they aren't doing well.
Her beard doesn't stay dark or turn black, does it?

thanks, i hope she is able to lay them by herself soon as well!Hello,
Wow, that had to of been shocking to find that out! That would do it, she is having trouble with
eggs. I assume that they are infertile?
If she is ready to lay & they confirmed placement, there is a hormone called oxytocin, which helps
with labor difficulties, etc. As AHBD suggested, making a laybox should help also. I hope that she
is able to get them laid!
