since i have her in the container she seems depressed, shes not moving which i guess she needs to rest,but now she wont eat anything:( the Lynfield vets were really helpful and i will deefenately go there again. im in west Auckland.

he said its broken,showed me the two vertibraes in the xray. i have her in a container in her tank so that rocky doesnt, lay on her or push her round.im keeping her as still as possible,but she is a lot more active today.

yeah, not enough sunlight over winter.

I took priscilla to the vets today.she has a broken back! ....the vet thinks that with the reptile light being old, and not having her outside over winter, her bones have lacked the calcium. i have to inject her with calcium shots for the next week or so to see if she improves. I also have some anti-inflamatries for her. she had xrays, and her back is broken lower down her back, two vertibraes:( the vet said she looks like she will recovery but only time will tell

ive been misinformed from someone who told me off for having a pool in there tank when i first got them.they loved to go and bathe, but this guy told me it would cause condensation and give then pnumonia. so i took it away. they love there outdoor cage,and burrow into the hay inside the cage in the late afternoon before i put them back in there indoor tank.but im scared they will freeze to death or die from the condensation if i were to leave them out all night!lol

i have made an appointment for her at the vets for tomorrow morning,$65 for consultation!yikes!...she is a lot better today,wriggling her body to move around.gave her a bath and she wasnt as impressed as rocky was,he loved it.I didnt know you could bath them.lol....she still wont take any greens,but will willingly take live foods from my hand. heres hoping she is on the mend

she is defecating regularly no bumps on the spine spine all legs appear to be paralysed no trouble defecating no leg trembles no lumps in her bally(I gently lay her on her back to have a feel,but there are no obstructions thanks for the number, i will phone the vet in the morning yes i do think natural uv is much better for them, but i keep them inside at night and when the weather is crap thanks everyone:)

i have the reptile lights, but havnt changed it for about a year! so i better get them a new one. i also take them to there outdoor cage every sunny day, they spend a lot of time outdoors. I have the desert sand,but not deep enough if she were to lay eggs. i never noticed her digging. thanks everyone for your help.

the tank is around 40 degrees. the fruit sallad and mealworms i have just been giving her this week as softer food in case she was constipated, otherwise she usuall has a variety of foods for her diet,including crickets and other live insects. I was thinking that if she was a girl she could be egg bound,but how would i check for that? she has always been a lot smaller than rocky, but she is fiesty and enrgetic until now. she has been pooping ok, so i had ruled out constipation.and she gets plenty of calcium and vitamins from her diet.

my bearded dragon is unwell. just wondering if anyone might know whats wrong with her. Im not sure, but i think its a girl.shes really small, but usually really lively, until the last couple of weeks.she cant walk.its got to the stage where im handfeeding her. She still has an apetite and im feeding her small frequent meals of mealworms and fruit salad, as she is quite weak. I got priscilla and Rocky a couple of years ago as babies.they had there tails eaten off by the larger bd babies, but i have never had any problems with them til now. I was told that they wouldnt have a very long lifespan due to them having no tails.but they are very much loved pets, and hopefully it isnt anything too major. any suggestions or even if you know a good vet i could take her to that deals with dragons, would be much appreciated. thanks
