Hey everyone, I got a call from my exotic vet that just got results back for Sheldon's blood work. Sheldon is 6 years old and like everyone else's beardie, he's my baby. He has a reptisun 10.0 uvb fluourescent bulb and a halogen 90 watt heat light about 8 inches above basking spot. (He likes his heat levels lower). The vet wants me to bathe him daily for the next three weeks and then come back to recheck his blood levels and see if anything changes.
The vet is worried about 1. Genetic issue 2. Dehydration or 3. Kidney/liver disease. He hasn't ever shown these concerns before so I'm pretty worried and thought I would ask for some advice on here. I did ask the vet to email a scan of the blood work results to me so I can attach it when I receive it. For now, I was told his Uric Acid is 6 when the normal is 1.8-4. His CPK is 12,848 when the normal level is between 175-1,450.
Any advice or ideas about this? I'm very concerned about my boy!
