Our 4-5month old baby won’t eat and is very lethargic. We took him to the vet and took xrays. It’s apparent that he has a calcium deficiency but she couldn’t say for sure what the large white egg-shaped mass in the middle of his body. She said we would have to send his blood work to Miami. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
That's very odd! Could it be a large impaction? Tracie will be on a bit later, she will probably be able to help. She sees a lot more x Ray's than I do! Lol.
What are you going to be doing to remedy the calcium deficiency?
Is your dragon male or female?
That appears to be a tumor....when will the bloodwork be in?
The liver placement is in the center of the body so it could be that but usually x-rays don't
reveal the liver quite that well.
I hope the liver isn't calcified though. How long has he not been doing well?
Thanks for responses. Unfortunately, Mushu didn't make it. We were feeding him calcium and baby food via a syringe, but he passed away a few days ago. I don't know if it was some sort of tumor or an infection, but he wasn't feeling well for a few weeks.
