Seems very sick? Help

[kcarello]

I am so sorry to hear this. Just curious..who did the testing for you?

 

[Raicardso]

Our reptile vet we've went to a couple times. She took a blood test and sent it to the lab

 

[kcarello]

Poor baby!! If you dont mind me asking,,,where did you purchase your dragon from and where are you from?

 

[Raicardso]

I purchased my baby from rainbow bearded dragons and I live in Texas.

Edit- not a baby anymore 9 months old

 

[kcarello]

Thanks, having both of mine tested also.

 

[Raicardso]

Got yours from the same place?

 

[kcarello]

No, I got my girl from Petsmart and my boy was adopted as a young adult and he said she was from a local breeder near Leesville, La.

 

[Raicardso]

Ah well if anyone reads this and their dragon is from rainbow bearded dragons I highly suggest getting your pet tested

I just took a peak at their Terms. Pretty blunt, guess that's where their "low-end prices" may come in.


"Our Breeders and currently available dragons have not been tested for Adenovirus.

All dragons are represented Honestly, and I conduct business in a forthright manner. All Dragons are guaranteed to be healthy and feeding well at the time they are shipped. Since I have No Guarantee of their care after arrival, my responsibility ends 72 hours after delivery. Keep in mind dragons do need to adjust to there new cage and surroundings . If I don't hear from you within 8 hours after delivery I assume you are delighted with your new Dragon and are Transaction is complete.... "

Psh "low end prices", yeah right

 

[kcarello]

To my knowledge none of the breeders in the U.S. test for adenovirus. There is one in Canada that test and is so far adeno free. It is sad, and I personally wish they would, but I dont see that happening anytime soon.

 

[Jaskotch]

It's not so much the statement that they don't test - since that is "industry standard".

This sentence all by itself would have me walking away:

"If I don't hear from you within 8 hours after delivery I assume you are delighted with your new Dragon and are [sic] Transaction is complete"

Hello,

I am so sorry to hear that he has Adeno. How long have you had him, just a short period of time?
What you can do for him now, is focus on getting & keeping his immune system up so he doesn't become vulnerable to respiratory issue & other ailments.
Each dragon is a little different in how they are able to overcome the symptoms. It will take a little more work on your end, but hopefully he will be able to develop his immune system fully & live a normal, healthy life.

I just had done quite a bit of research for a good breeder and she got good reviews everywhere I went

 

[Raicardso]

I have had him for 7 months now. Have been having to force feed him using the food and medicine the vet gave me.
