Igor --who is approaching his 9th b'day -- was seemingly uninterested in his food--even ignoring his favorite crickets as they hopped by him. His color had gotten paler. So today I took him to the small animal vet. She found an area that was bulging which turned out to be fluid--which she is sending out to test. Blood was also drawn. I have him on a regimen of antibiotics, iron and force feeding (special nutrition). The vet thought he might have a hematoma causing this and might be anemic. This is all very challenging to adminster but hopefully it will help him. I am so worried about the tests and what they will show and what I will have to decide. He was my son's pet but he is now mine. Has anyone ever had something like this happen to their beardie? :(

I'm sorry I have no advice or experience to offer as I am a new dragon owner but I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Igor is blessed to have you taking such good care of him! Best of luck! <3

Don't know what to tell you , other than that for Igor to have lived 9 yrs is a great feat! I think they live from 7-14 yrs. So you have done a terrific job with Igor

Thursday Igor was very weak--I knew he was dying. When I got home from work he was limp--took him to the vet and she confirmed he was dead. The necropsy revealed that he had 2 masses--1 in the abdomen and one near his heart. He was probably suffering--poor guy. I am heartbroken looking at the empty cage--expecting to see him still. Very sad. :cry:

I'm so sorry about your buddy Igor. He's not suffering anymore....and I know that even though it doesn't help your pain, he is now out of any pain himself. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong....one day you will probably have a new scaly friend again.

I'm sorry Igor passed. He will always be with you in the part of your heart that belongs to him! He knew you loved him!

Poor Igor.

It sounds like you did a good job raising him to this age, and now he is in a better place, thanking you for taking care of him.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
