I have a female dragon that is 4 1/2 y.o. She is suffering from swollen eyes (so much so that she can only look up and constantly weeping), a swollen beard (that is quite pendulous), and most recently a swelling of what I can only describe as an air sac behind her front paw (about 3x the normal size and is soft and squishy). she is lethargic, she only moves to clime down from her basking rock and occasionally scratches on the glass. her greatest activity is struggling with me when I give her the anti-biotic (she does not like it at all). she has eaten only a few superworms in the last month, partly due to brumation. now I feed her some green bean baby food with a few drops of her liquid vitamin mixed in. the weepy eyes does dehydrate her and she will sometimes drink water when I bathe her.
I have taken her to my local vet that handles exotics, but she is stumped. she gave me an oral anti-biotic, a triple anti-biotic ointment for the eyes and an oral medication to reduce swelling. after a week, there is no change in her condition. here are a couple of photos. any suggestions?
