He drinks a good bit but not as much as my other beardies. I’m also worried if it could maybe be something thats transferable to my other beardies?? Ive been washing my hand like crazy after caring for him before i handle or care for my other two beardies...
There's no way to know for sure unless you have him tested for atadenovirus [ ADV ] You should also def. get bloodwork done to check his liver + kidney function, glucose, and blood cell count.
I’ll have to schedule another vet appt and get the bloodwork done to see i had it done about two months ago but something else couldve progressed since then
2 months ago i took him to the vet and he had his bloodwork done and was tested for parasites but the vet never said anything about having the two and i didn’t get a copy
How much weight, overall has he lost thus far?
I would get another fecal done on him to see if he has worms or parasites. That can really
affect their appetites.
Which tube bulb brand are you using, do your other 2 have the same brand as he does?
I would try to get some chicken or turkey baby food, mixed with squash or sweet potato baby
food to give to him, a few times per week to help him out.
Has he black bearded at all?
Since he isn't feeling well, I would try to keep the tank around 75-80F overnight to help boost
his immune system.
Can you try to get a copy of the blood test for us to see also?
Overall he probably lost 50-65 g of weight since when he was healthy and yes i use all three same brand of tube lights for all of my dragons i use the reptisun T8 bulb on the inside of the cages 8 inches from them to get maximum uvb and i give them vitamin supplments every two weeks to a month to make sure their vitmain needs are provided. I have a vet appoitnent scheduled for tomorrow at 430 getting blood work done with full panel screening and a fecal test.
Oh my --- stubborn little bugger--- keep us posted on the vet visit make sure you get copies of the blood work etc any xrays as well if they take them you can post them on here and Tracie can look at them and give her in put shes a our vet moderator good luck hope you can figure this out and what is going on w/ him
