Hello, I have recently found this forum and thought I could get some much needed advice about my bearded dragon Biscuit.
I purchased Biscuit from Petsmart August 30th (I know I probably should have not gotten my beardie from a pet store) and she (I think she is a she) was very active and healthy looking. She was eating well and pooping twice a day until about the 2nd week in October. It all started when I one day noticed her walking funny. Her right front leg is swollen and looks like maybe she broke it. Her right hind leg at the ankle is swollen and at first it seemed to just be on the one side but now her left front elbow looks swollen. I also noticed her leg twitching sometimes (not much). She was also very lethargic and not eating or pooping. Every since I noticed this I have been researching to try and figure out what is wrong. I had a tube UVB I bought from the pet store (pet store brand) and I changed it to a reptisun 10.0. I had a day time basking lamp that was 75 watts and I switched it to a 100 watt. The temp on the hot side is 105 to 112 and around mid 80's on the cold side. She eats greens mixed with some type of squash and cucumber mixed with the rep cal pellets every day (she eats a small amount) and eats any where from 10 to 20 crickets dusted in rep cal calcium with D3 6 days a weeks and dusted with repeal multivitamins once a week.
I did so much research before I bought her and I thought I was doing everything right. I feel so bad because she is swollen and I don't know what to do. I recently ordered some Phoenix worms and just waiting for them to arrive. I was thinking about getting liquid calcium but I don't know what kind to get and what dose to give. There is only one vet around here that says she has seen exotic pets before but she does not often and does not specialize in it...I didn't know if I should take her to see this vet. I just don't know what else to do. The swelling doesn't seem to go down it has been getting worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Once I figure out how to post pictures I will.
Thank you....
