Hi, My beardie is 4 years old and his femoral pores keep getting more and more clogged. I also feel he has an impaction but can’t tell if he’s just abit chubby.
I’m bathing him in warm water to try and make his pores more soft and going over them lightly with a cotton bud to try and loosen them abit. Will they eventually come unclogged? He has a lot of wood in his vivarium but he doesn’t seem to be able to rub them enough to loosen the clogged parts.
For his potential impaction : He still has his appetite. he ate 2 blueberries today and i fed him cricket’s yesterday (i do give him varied greens but he’s very fussy with his vegetables and fruits and he sometimes won’t eat them). but he hasn’t done a poo for awhile. the last one he did was around 1 week ago but potentially less than a week ago. I’m giving him massages on his stomach to try and get everything moving. Is this something that is of urgency?
I’m in an area where going to an vet that specifies in reptiles isn’t an option unless i want to travel.
Please advise me!! Here are some pics below for reference.
