I don’t know if this is my anxiety or panic disorder flaring up but I feel as if I’ve failed Freddie. He was my first bearded dragon and I feel so guilty like I’m a bad pet owner. I just want to make his life good and to have him happy. I cry over him all the time because I love him more than anything, he’s a form of therapy for me.
He went to the emergency in late June for inhalation of too much water from his weekly soak, that was my fault. I turned for one second and next thing I know he’s choking and becoming limp. I had to take him to emergency and spend the $400 because I love him! He has been struggling with a possible nutritional deficiency for awhile now which I believe has caused the shaking/tremor in his tail, it becomes rapid shaking but it’s not 24/7. I will share his blood work from emergency with you. The shaking has persisted.
He is VERY picky with food. He hates anything green so I have been giving him slurries or collard greens, mustard greens, butternut squash blended in a blender with purified water. I’ve tried everything to get him to eat it on his own.
He eats insects and blueberries fine but anything else a BIG nope!
I don’t know what his shaking is from, I feel so bad.
I’ll also share photos of him and his set up.
I guess my question is what can I do make his life better?
He has been to the vet since that visit due to the pigmentation in his tail and some damaged scales from an injury but they are suggesting another vet visit by their vet who has more experience with dragons and another blood panel if possible — I think I’m going to do this.
I was told his vitamin A is low. His glucose is/was VERY low and albumin are low as well.
Any suggestions? During his emergency visit, the doctor said his liver did look lumpy. What could have caused this?
I’m going to insert the link to my Amino post with the same information, you’ll find the pictures there.
