Impaction???

Oh okay I'll try that in the morning just a drop? How long would it take if it were to work? Thanks for your help

 

[AllanonsWrath]

Maybe 2 - 3 drops for an adult. It won't take much. I would try a nice warm bath about an hour or so afterwards and see if he will go. You can also massage his tummy while he is in the bath to see if you can help induce the bowel movement.

 

[chris23039]

Thanks I shall definitely give that a go I'll keep you updated

Just put the carpet in pleased with that looks slot nicer I also contacted a vet near me and they said they don't deal with bearded dragons alot but they'll take a look do you reckon I should take him along?

 

[AllanonsWrath]

I would make sure that there is a vet there that is Herp qualified first. I won't take my guys to a vet that is not Herp qualified.

Any poop yet btw?

 

[chris23039]

It's so hard to find a herp qualified vet here in the uk, there is a list of uk ones but the closest one to me is a good 80 miles so that's not really a option

I agree with Allonons advice, but try a little more olive oil and then give a warmer than usual bath. Sometimes that will do it. I'd be leary of a vet that has no reptile experience, but if you wanted X-rays [ EXPENSIVE ! ] they could possibly see the problem. They might just give a dose of Enulose/ Lactulose or whatever they use in the U.K.

 

[chris23039]

Yea I'll email the vet to see if he/she has a herp qualification and I've just gave him a few drops of olive oil so il bath in half an hour or so hopefully tonight the night

 

[chris23039]

He's in the bath now it looks abit like he's going into a shed would that have anything to do with this or not?

 

[AllanonsWrath]

Shed can cause them to go off their food abit as well. If it's particularly bothersome. Try massaging his belly in the bath today as well.

 

[chris23039]

He went but it was still really small and the bumps still there I've just took a few photos of him and the tank il upload them in a bit

[chris23039]

you can sort of see the lump in question on the first picture

 

[AllanonsWrath]

It's good that he went at least. I can't see the pics since I am at work. Will see if I can get Brandon or someone else to look at it though.
