Kookoocachu Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 No advice, get that beardie to the vets straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 have you checked the temps? not got bearides myself but 36 other lizards and a snake it is unusual for any lizard to suddenly start throwing up for no reason and generally separating from your other one would be advisable in case what he has is infectious, but as they suffer more i would also advise a trip to the vets for them both Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psymon Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Defo not impaction , cause he wouldn't be shitting... You could always get a Fecal test done, this would rule out if he has any parasites, etc. Its a bout40-60 quid ... Vet will perform this for ya. or Try http://www.greendale.co.uk These are vet diagnostics peeps, cheaper and its who the vet sends it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kookoocachu Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Just out of interest, what calcium powder are you using in your water and how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 OK, I can help you with this. I need to know the following: size of viv cool area temp hot area temp substrate suppliment brand type of crickets being fed method of supplementing (powder/liquid/on food/in water) humidity any items in the viv and what they are made of (e.g corkbark hide/clay waterdish/java branch) Have a good look around your bd, hold him in the palm of your hand and tilt his tail upwards, check his anal area for any discolouration and/or dried waste. Seperate him from your female for a week, change water twice a day and also lightly spray him once a day. I'll give you my number shortly, you can give me a call tomorrow. If anyone has any reptiles then please free to contact me if you have any problems, I have kept pretty much everything which is common and a few things on DWA so can normally help, my bessie mate is a herpetologist so I can provide his details too (although he will freely admit that I know more than he does lol) Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
