Hi!
I really need some guidance!
Puddle, our almost 2 year old beardie has been sick for about a month. He started favoring his left from paw about a month ago after a bout with cocidia. We've taken him to the vet 3 times; she first thought it was a soft tissue injury, then maybe a sholder injury, and since we've seen no improvement, only worsening, we're worried it may be cancer or something not good. She said she only does diagnostics in the bane of treatment, and she said she treatment is usually not effective with beardies.
His appetite has been down for a month. He'll eat a live feader occasionally, ate a super worm yesterday, and has been eating smoothies (greens and protien and calcium). He also has been pooping at least every other day. This morning his beard was black; he's lathargic, and obviously not feeling well. He seemed really unhappy under his lights in his tank, so we have him in blankets on the couch.
I gave him .1 ml of medacam for the pain. Any advice? Should I put him under his lights? Leave him out? Put him on a heating pad.
He may be on his way out; we are so so so sad, and just want to make him feel better or at least comfortable.
Thank you,
Katie & Puddle
