I have recently seen black pepper like dots on my bearded dragon. From my previous post, I have said things about my bearded dragon not eating in a week. He also seems to be losing weight. Mites can make your bearded dragon lose weight, right?
I have decided to call the herp vet tomorrow to make an appointment. Do any of you know how much a check up appointment would cost?
*EDIT* Is there an easier way of obtaining bedatine? *EDIT*
Prices vary according to each clinic. My Vet usually charges about $25, on a new animal, but repeat animals dealing with the same issue or different, usually passes on a office "fee". You should be able to find bedatine in the heath/medications aisle at your local grocery store or discount stores like Walmart.

That's it ! Go ahead and bathe your dragon, allowing it to get a good drink of water before adding the betadine. Soak for 15 minutes, than place either in a burrito (towel) or back on basking area. You will also want to be totally OCD about cleaning the entire enclosure too, all bedding, surfaces, daily.
Hope this helps out !

Keep us posted on any developments !
