Hello everyone,
I took Daisy into the vet about two weeks ago because he wasn't walking right. He was leaning and "tripping" over his feet and would barely eat. They ran X-rays and his bones were good and healthy so they ruled out bone disease. They also tested his poop and it came back as having a little bit of parasites so they gave a two dose medication to address that and he got the second dose today. There was no impaction found in the x-rays either so that's good. However, the only answer they could give me was that he has a neurological problem. They gave me two pain medications to give to him for one week once a day. I called them back and they said to give both twice a day. I went for a re check up and they said to stop the medication but I have not seen any improvements but it hasn't gotten worse either. He doesn't hunt for his bugs anymore instead I have to hand feed all of them along with his salads. He drags his back legs and twitches his head now. This is so sad for me because I worried so much when he was little and I first got him and tried to do everything right and always made changes to make his enclosure better.
I use the Repashy calcium powder and the uvb hood with a t5 arcadia bulb and a 100 watt bulb for basking. The temps are perfect with the hot side 90-105 and the cool side 75-85.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem with their beardie?
