Hi! Im posting about a bearded dragon that isn’t mine, but my young nephew’s.
Max is about a year old five or take. Not sure of the gender, but they’ve been assuming that it’s a male.
My nephew alerted me to the fact that Max has been a bit sick, not eating or anything, for about a day or two. When I picked him up, I noticed that his vent was a bit swollen and red, and to me looks like an infection. Now I work as a vet tech, but my specialty is in small domestic animals, so I feel a little out of my depth. I have bathed him in warm water, and completely removed all uneaten crickets that he had in enclosure out so that they won’t bite him while he’s feeling ill. Just wondering what the next steps should be.
