Ok i brought my 2 dragons to the only vet that sees them in my area (100 mile radius) and i dont know what antibiotics he them them but they both have URI. I really need to know what i can ask the vet for to make sure they are getting the right meds. Also really need some ideas about the best way to medicate (vet gave broken up pills I have to crush) thats the least traumatic for my male dragon who is currently either getting ready to brumate or is dying... Pretty sure it brumating, he stoped eating and sleeps most of the time on the cool side of his tank. He seems to be thin to me but I dont know I dont have a way to weight him, and Rose seems to be very round and fat, getting fatter and shes in a semi brumation, barly eats unless i put it in her mouth (still spits out most) when she gapes.Its kinda cute now when i walk near her tank she opens her mouth every time, makes meds easy!
Also how do i heat up there tanks with out hurting them or cooking them in it by making it too hot. I am confused and a bit annoyed at the vet I say I got more helpful information here than from him, he didn't even know how to sex them..... Looked at the bumps on the back legs instead of lifting the tails to see the base underneath GRRRRRrrrrrrr....
Any info on how to propely deal with this would be greatly appreciated. I ordered Reptaid, Rose takes her meds easy, Thorn is a complete beep head about it, bits and claws and thrashes, has for the most part eaten the plastic end of the syringe to pieces LOL He is also showing a dark grey to black beard ALL the time, as well as strips down his back that were never that dark before.
