Our bearded dragon pickles is quite unwell.
Unfortunately the reptile vet we have taken our other reps too isnt taking on new clients.
But the vet that is dealing with him is liaising with a couple of specialists on this.
From his bloods it was quite evident his kidneys are having a hard time (high uric acid/gout)
He has had his first lot of fluid therapy today to help his kidneys. Ive always known fluid injections to be subcutaneous on dragons but the reptile vet has advised the vet dealing with it to administer intracoelomic - directly into the abdomen.
Pickles had his first lot of this therapy this morning and has just excreted a brown liquid poo (no solid part, no urate).
Ive let the vey know who is checking with specialist, but just wanted to see if anyone has come across intracoelomic injections and if this commonly happens
