HELP! MY BEARDIE SUDDENLY IS SWOLLEN SPOTS ON HIS BACK!

[aramirez22]

My bearded dragon was totally fine yesterday, I cleaned his cage and fed him and now that it’s the next day he has woken up with two swollen spots on his back near his shoulders and I AM FREAKING OUT! I’m stresses and worried I don’t know what to do. Someone please help!

Hello,

That does look odd! Did you place him in another angle to see if the areas were still swollen?
It looks like it is right where the scapula is, which is strange.
Are the spots hard or soft to the touch?

Hello,
Well this morning they are almost completely gone and I’m very confused because they were very swollen last night. I still want to know what this can be, but they are hard and when he was sort of slouching it’s noticeable more. When he lifts his head up they aren’t as noticeable.

I think you were just seeing the ridges of her shoulder blades poking through her skin when she had her head down .

If there really was something to worry about there , it would still be there and pretty obvious.

Hello,

I agree, the areas are right at the shoulder blades. I am pretty sure that you just noticed them
when he was leaning forward & more pronounced.
