HELP! Beardy lost OUTSIDE!

[stellar96]

Hey Guys,

So Stellar is still not eating. Is this normal?

He is acting a little bit strange (ex. trying to get out of his cage). Stellar is a lot more adventurous now that he has braved the wild for 11 days.

Also, occasionally he will have a black beard in which will go away a few minutes later. Sick? Stress? Mad?

Thanks!

It's probably stress....he went from extreme cold to normal temps. in one day, quite a huge change. Just give him time. Can you post a pic of the vagabond ?

I have plenty of other pictures, but these are the only ones I could upload

I have been following your story from the beginning and I am soo happy to hear that you found your little guy! I know how happy you must be!!

I too, have been following your story and praying you find your dragon. So happy to hear he is home and doing well. I would schedule a fecal for him in the next week or so, since he's been out, he could have gotten some parasites from any bugs he may have eaten on his adventure into driving you nuts.

Thank you Tonja!

I am waiting for him to eat something so I can collect a fecal from him :? I have notified my local reptile vet and they are ready when I am. IT IS SO EXPENSIVE :x $50....

You're lucky you only have to pay $50. My vet is $69.95 for the exam and about $20-30 for the fecal.

Is $50 for the fecal or the exam? If $50 is the exam that's pretty dang good for an exotic exam! I've paid $75, I think my current vet charges high $60's. Fecal I think is somewhere between $30-40, so if that's the fecal cost, that's definitely on the high end :shock:

So glad you found him, btw!

Edit - just saw you're in Canada, looks like $50 Canadian is roughly $40 US, so that's pretty typical actually, I think.

For the fecal. It doesnt say anything about an exam I will email them to double check.

Goo news! Stellar was eating today He had some fresh dandelion greens, cucumber, pepper and one super worm. I have to admit, it wasnt that much...but he ate!!

 

[JenFid]

That's great news! They may not have mentioned the exam, with a fecal if all you do is bring in the poo, that's all they'd charge you for (get a baggie ready!).

Good thing I just got payed because it is $50 for the fecal and $70 for the exam. Hopefully I will just need the fecal Oh how much I love my beardy :wink:

Congrats on finding her! Glad to hear that nothing happened out there.

 

[KahliLizard]

You will have to keep us updated with what the vet has to say. So glad this story ended well. I am happy for you.

 

[GizmosGrammie]

Yeah!!! So happy Stellars's story had a happy ending!!! Hopefully everything goes well w/ur vet check.

Hello everyone!

I called the vet today to see if there was any news on the fecal. Dr. Hardin will call me tomorrow to discuss the results. Is this bad? Why didn't the receptionist say everything was good? I am worried.

I will let you guys know what he says tomorrow...
