8 months old, 16 inch, female bearded dragon. She has white plaque on her teeth and on the tip/corners of her mouth she seems to have little orange/bloody spots (She did get alot of hard shelled large crickets lately, at least I am hearing snaps of their skeletons). I intend to bring her to the vet as soon as possible, however I have a very minimal amount of cash and it's $90 for a visit (not including ANYTHING else). If anyone has any suggestions on how to handle this please let me know..
Details:
Age: 8 months old
Size: 16 inches
Weight: unknown (pretty heavy)
Sex: Female
Cage: 40 gallon
Heat: 115-95 degrees (ranging so she can choose)
Light: Reptisun UVB 10.0 18 bar light, 18 inches from the ground, 12 from favored basking spot
Diet: Collard greens, Escrole, Rep-cal, 30-50 crickets a day (lightly powdered 4-7 days a week)
Bowls: Daily
Current State: Eating like normal, slightly tired, which is usual for her.
I felt she may have had something before, but had even less money then. I wouldn't be surprised if she has been fighting this for a while, she is showing slight signs of MBD, but I don't have much to go on (talking about both cost and information). I have grown worried this time and have about $200 to spend if she needs it... but is there any better way to check for sure or that might help without the vet?
