So he pooped today and it was all solid, with green and white. I have stopped the reptaboost now, I have given him some oxbow but this morning I got him to eat some arugula, squash, apple and a small cherry tomato cut in half. He is looking less stress but still not moving much. How long it takes them to start looking better after mbd if it’s a mild case?Hello,
That would be a good idea to wait just a short bit before getting a fecal done on him, to let his system
try to normalize from relocation stress. That alone will cause stress levels to elevate normal levels of
the worms & parasites.
I hope he starts to feel better soon. We are all pulling for little Pancake to get better. Please keep us
updated on him.

Yes I am giving him calcium, and thank you yes that’s what I read about tomatoes but I gave him only very small pieces just to see if he was interested in veggies. I still don’t know how picky he is, but I am not planning on giving him tomatoes regularly.Hello,
I hope he is doing better soon. They all respond differently but with metabolic bone disease
it can take some time. Are you giving a liquid calcium for him right now?
Did he like the critical care? Go easy on tomatoes since they are higher in oxalic acid & can
bind calcium in large amounts.
Has he perked up any yet?

@love please start your own thread or new post and we can better help you - this is so we can keep the dragons separated on helping them and youHi I am in same boat as you since the holiday. My beard dragon was diagnosis with parasites. We got him treated him medication . I gave him booster and all the supplements . That I can do for him to eat on his own. He still will not eat own. I change his salad. I still feeding him on syring. He is7 month old. I am so stress out. I don't what else I can do more . I did everything under sun To get him eat own
I was going to suggest taking an old blender and making a slurry out of some insects to add in with the Oxbow (gross I know lol) but if he will eat them on his own that is much better. I'm glad your seeing improvements. It's scary when they won't eat.Yes I am giving him calcium, and thank you yes that’s what I read about tomatoes but I gave him only very small pieces just to see if he was interested in veggies. I still don’t know how picky he is, but I am not planning on giving him tomatoes regularly.
He has perked up since that day he looked black and stressed. He also ate two dubias yesterday I think he definitely is progressing, slowly but surely.
He is doing way better! He is moving more and more, his head doesn’t tremble as much when he tries to look around. He is eating better too, still not very mobile so I have to make sure I put the food very close to him or I give him water and his oxbow and calcium with a syringe but he has eaten some dubias when I put them close to him and some veggies when I feed them to him. I am starting to see what things he likes and what things he doesn’t like at all. His poop is solid now, I am still going to get him tested for parasites but I am waiting a little bit longer, just so he settles down as you guys were saying. I will keep you updated in a couple of days to see how he is progressing.Hello,
Any updates on your dragon? I hope his appetite is doing good & continues to do better.
@love, were you able to start your own thread? We can go over your tank setup with you to
be sure everything is correct.

Yes I know, I am actually thinking on using this small business over in vermont, anybody has used them or has heard of them?NO enemas!! Take the fecal in for testing
Beware of vets giving enemas to your dragon | Beardie ER
Just a warning about this because there are at times very bad reactions afterwards including beardie dying within a day to a week . Some vets give an enema when a dragon is going in to brumation and not pooing during this time, not recognizing that beardies rarely poo during their " sleepy "...www.beardeddragon.org
