Hi. My beardie Mick has been having some trouble lately. Last week he had what appeared to be temporary prolapse (at his cloaca) and a seizure. We rushed him to an emergency vet as this happened once before last year and they did blood work and found inflammation in his blood. We ran the course of anti-inflammatory and antibiotics(i think) and he has been fine until now. We took him to the vet for them to tell us he looks perfectly healthy, no signs of impaction, and they did blood work which showed nothing wrong. (Although im not sure if this was a herp specialist or just the emergency vet available.) He has now been having these little seizures where his back feet clench together and he cant move them and he 'curls' up kindof like a C shape for a few moments and then is okay. He also had a very watery poop today which is abnormal as hes a regular healthy pooper. He has also started trying to 'eat' the glass, he looks like hes trying to get a worm but nothing is there. These little episodes have happened every day or every other day this past week and we are at a loss because the vet says theres nothing wrong (with a $500 bill). He is very active, loves running around the house and in his tank for the morning and then chills on his hammock most of the afternoon. He is in a 40 gallon tank (i just ordered a larger enclosure of 120gallons that will be here in a few weeks) with a 75watt heat bulb, and a reptisun 10.0uvb tube light. He has carpet and slate tile as substrate, i feed him superworms 2x a week and salad the rest of the days. I dust with calcium (without D3 as per vet recommendation) everyday and multivitam 2x a week. His basking spot is 36°c and the rest of the tank sits around 29°c . I got him 4 years ago as a rescue we estimate hes about 5 or 6 but could be older as there wasnt much info given when he was abandoned. Any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is much appreciated
