My buddy orange has kind of gone off his salad, I can get him to eat a bit if I hand feed. He has been to the vet at the end of October the only report officially was an elevated white blood cell that’s linked to inflammation in bearded dragons .
His poops have been brown and healthy looking, no foul odor to be spoken of. I got no news on the fecal study from the vet
He seems very with it, when I bring him out of the enclosure he’s quite curious and active. Even only being in my care for a month he tolerates my handling very well and enjoys baths, possibly to the point that he takes too many I.e every other day. His humidity ranges from 35 on the hot side to about 37-38 on the cool side . The large mountain structure in my photo is also a fairly large hide.
When I adopted him I was told he was a she but the vet seemed very confident after digitally analyzing his genitals that he is a male
I have no official age for him but based on his size he the vet said approximately 1 year, but the previous owner who had him for almost 5 months before they couldn’t care for him anymore said he was 2 when they got him so almost 30 months if all that is accurate
Outside of the salad issue he seems pretty much like he always has poops once a day to once every 3 days depending on how much he’s eating, after 3 days I massage his right side a bit to coax out the poops and give him a slightly warmer long bath and that has done the trick so far
I’m gonna send a photo of a couple things which I think and hope are just the start to shedding but I’d like some folks with more experience to rest my mind before I fly off to the vet again thinking he’s really sick
The concerning parts are the very pale parts at the left side of his back and his face and eye. Is there anything. I can do? Is this normal, he’s not aggressive although for the first time ever he kinda swatted my hand away from scratching under his beard
Thanks everyone I hope my buddy orange is ok
