Husbandry, Diseases, and Veterinary Care of the Bearded Drag

Here is a reputable article from a 2012 issue of the Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery. I haven't read it yet, but that's on my agenda for tonight or tomorrow.

Please note, however, it is from 2012 so some of the information could be dated by this time.

Is very general and lacks detail.

Yeah, you're right. The part about common diseases is interesting though and good information. I assume that this is peer-reviewed stuff

Some of the info is a bit dated, although I'm not sure how much advancement has been made in the last 10 years unfortunately. It is a good read though. I think it provides a good general overview of how to run through an exam for a dragon and gives some good dosing info for various meds and liquid calcium. I may run through it again and put together a small cheat sheet to reference.

Another interesting note is that some of the references are from a paper written by my specialty vet Mark Mitchell at University of Illinois. He treated Cooper years ago and wrote a small paper about him as well. Very nice guy and an Excellent vet.

That's really cool! You are very fortunate to have a vet like him locally.
