He told me on the phone when I texted him that he has been to the vet recently and they told him he had an eye infection and there was nothing they could do. They sent him home with otherwise a clean bill of health. I told him to google pictures of beardies and compare. Their legs aren't pencil sized and they are bright in color when happy. He told me he has never seen him with a solid white belly.
Is it normal to see a human's ribs and spine stick out like that? NO! So what makes it OK to see it on an animal?! Why are people so dumb these days. It's sad that the vet didn't say anything. Even a non-reptile vet could clearly see that something was wrong with this poor thing.

Well he needs to go to a different "vet"... my first beardie's eye infection and abscess was taken care of easily enough with some antibiotics (Baytril). That's disgusting. If they want the eye infection to have any chance of healing, they NEED to take him off the sand.
You should text him some pictures of your beardies and tell him to visit this site, so he will know what a healthy one actually looks like.
I have to stop looking at that picture.. he looks like a skeleton. I'm snuggling with my beardies like I do every night looking how nice and fat they are.. how does he say very healthy???
