I was getting ready for bed an my beardie was playing. I stopped to watch and a maggot looking thing crawled out of his nose and down his chin. Its really freaking me out. Im calling a vet tomorrow but Id love to know whats going on if anyone can help.
Was it one of his feeder worms, like a wax worm or a phoenix worm? If not (or even if it was), I'd say you have big trouble. Get him to the vet ASAP - seriously.
I have been! He was really active today, he doesn's seem a bit sick. The vet said it might be a parasite problem, his appointment is saturday morning. They said they would do an x-ray if they find anything. I don't know whats going on. I hope whatever it is he will be ok. Keep your fingers crossed for him please!! Ill let you know what they say when we get back.
I still think that is one of the strangest things I've ever heard. Imagine something of that size comparison worming its way through your sinus cavity and out your nose! :shock: Eeesh.
She didnt see anything in his nose, she said that they get nasal and lung parasites. But he is healthy and she gave him a parasite shot and told me to switch back to reptile carpet. I was using millet in his cage then started using wood chips. She told me it breeds bacteria and stuff. I still dont understand it, I clean it out everytime he uses the bathroom and bleach it once a month. Im taking him back in a couple weeks for a worm shot and he'll be seeing another doctor. Im going to ask his opinion. Oh and my beardie is possibly a girl lol. I think during her lazy period she was trying to lay eggs. I still keep saying he, Im so used to it.
