HELP ! Beardie is dying

[Tomek]

Hello, I took my beardie to the vet and he said she is suffering from extreme levels of low calcium. She has not eaten "real" food in 2 mos. He gave me carnivore care and calcium drops, which I have been giving her for a week now. She is no better does this take time to work? how much longer can she go on like this?

What type of UV is your beardie getting? Someone is going to ask....

a brand new repti sun 10.0

I would try another week or so. It wont hurt to give your vet a call with an update. When mine didnt eat for a bit, my vet had me give her something that encourages appetite and mix it with ensure...it took about 10-14 days before she would have a "full" meal. If you can, weigh her and see if she has gained any weight (even if its only a little bit) from the carnivore care

It may take a little bit before her system rights itself.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the information. I will call the vet tomorrow. She is not gaining from the Carnivore Care. I wish she was

You can try syringe feeding her some chicken baby food, mixed with some squash baby food, mix in some calcium. I really hope your baby gets better, I will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I am sad to say Tomek passed away last night, she suffered so much and it was very painful to see.

Thank you again.

I am so sorry to hear that Tomek crossed over. She is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, and is suffering no more.
