[vanessa408]

My bearded dragon doesnt want to eat and he keeps his mouth slightly open.. his bottom jaw is swollen and all he does is lay in under the heat lamp. What can i do?? i need help i already had to euthanise one animal i dont want to lose another one . This is the first time Taz gets sick. I don't know what to do.

i hope i can help! my dragon eats very little this time of year, and sometimes not at all for long periods during winter. does your dragon ever go into brumation? is he lethargic? my dragon also gets a swollen jaw sometimes, but he's poufing it out. sometimes it turns black when he does that. don't know what that means. i hope you get an expert to answer your questions better.

He certainly does not look happy, does he.

Can you please go over your set up-
What size is your enclosure?
What kind of lights do you have for basking and UVB?
What are the temperatures in your tank? Basking spot, hot side, cool side?
How do you measure them? Digital thermometer with a probe, temp gun, round dial, strip?
Where in the viv is your thermometer?
Also, how old is your dragon? How long? How much does he weigh?
How long have you had him?
When was the last time he ate and what was it?
What kinds of food are you offering?
Do you give him baths or mist his cage?

Please answer in as much detail as you can. We would all love to see your baby thrive.
