Help with a sick baby

[petitepenguin]

I recently adopted from petsmart my second technically third beardie we had one but after weeks of thriving no signs she died suddenly. We purchased this new one unaware that now months later our local store has according to our vet been having a lot of problems with their hatchlings.

I took her and my two year old beardie to the vet since the one suddenly died. Our new girl Penny had stopped eating but had begun shedding. The big guy Max he was his normal self.

Penny now three days later has twitching of her head and limbs occasionally and still not eating I have been syringe feeding her baby food and she is drinking.

The vet is a reptile vet here in VA but they say yellow fungus I see no markers what are a your thoughts?

Oh and Max is healthy other than some coccidia that showed in his sample Penny we couldn't get a sample at the office.

I plan to take her in on Monday if she makes it

Hi. Sorry she is not well. Could you give a run down of the set up?

Hello,

I am sorry that your baby is not doing well.
Please let us know how she is doing. When you get a chance if you could review your tank set up with us, th at would be helpful.
Do you have any pictures of her as well?

The tank on the warm side would be 100 cool side 80 humidity is around 20%. Uv bulb is a reptisun 10 with newspaper for the bottom of the tank. Prior to the sudden down turn she was eating 1/8 to 1/4 cricks plus leafy green mix I make for my big guy which is kale and parsley.

She continued to get worse I actually went to the store I got her at and talked with the reptile girl who cares for the babies their store hasn't had these issues according to her. But I doubt that I am going to follow up with the vet and one of the other people who works there.

Hello,

How is your baby doing?
Did she enjoy his bath?
Has she eaten today? If she isn't eating, you can continue to feed her chicken & turkey baby food, mixed with squash or sweet potato baby food using a plastic dropper or syringe to feed to her.
How often do you give calcium?
What type & brand of UVB light are you using?

I don't see yellow fungus in the picture though.
Let us know how she is doing.
