Shaking

[Beardieguy123]

UPDATE ON BRYAN

took him to his vet appointment today
doctor said shaking was caused by lack of calcium, gave him a shot and gave me a very detailed list on fruits and vedgies that beardies can eat..with calcium and phosphorus %'s with a ranking order on wat has the most calcium in it

i already put down fresh dandelion...and plan on getting him back on his dusted crickets tomorrow

Hi there, I suspected the vet would give him a calcium injection, that should really help him. The list he gave you for the veggies/greens is probably very similar to the link I posted on the beautiful dragons site. Yes, dandelion is nice & high in calcium content. Gee, sounds like we covered just about all that the vet mentioned. Did he suggest liquid calcium rather than the calcium dust? Do you need to take him back for another check-up?

How did Bryan handle the appt and how is he doing tonight?

Aw, poor baby. How's he doing?

he is doing ok so far, he i moving alot more than he did on saurday
but he didnt eat at all yesterday, so im thinking i might syringe feed him untill his appetite returns

UPDATE

his tremors and lack of back leg movement returned this mornin after i finished syringe feeding him

so i had to take him back to Pet Smart, where i got him...they said that they will take care of him untill he sees a vet early next week.
once they have completed whatever treatment the vet prescribes, i will have him back home safe

the shaking takes sometime to go away. I would be leary of leaving him with petsmart as not all people there are knowledegable as they should be-they put on calci sand or walnut shells--a big NO NO. Petsmart is also the store that in their care sheets say baby beardies only need calcium 2-3x a week--NOT SO!!!(and since your guy is calcium deficient I don't see his shakes going away at petsmart)
Did I read in a previous post you use a UVA bulb--you need a UVB bulb not a UVA bulb. And his crickets should be dusted 1 feeding a day with calcium with D3. But then I understand you do what you need to do.
Good luck with whatever happens.
