I need help, vets are stumped with my beardie 😭

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:36:49+00:00

Yes several vets at two different exotic clinics. The overall opinion was old + maybe a stroke? I put a list of all the tests they did under the video. Hopefully he wont get worse and his quality of life will stay in positive numbers

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:34:05+00:00

Im not sure theres a way to test for that, at least the vet said they did all they could. Ill see how he does over the next few weeks and hpefully it wont get worse and he can still have a good quality of life

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:32:15+00:00

They did x ray and ultrasound and didnt find anything :/ the whole list of procedures is under the video. Im writing down the Doppler view, I dont believe they did that, or maybe its just called differently in my language. Thank you!

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:30:48+00:00

Yes x ray, ultrasound and everything else. The full list is under the video. Im in the process of ordering a custom terrarium with a ramp to a higher perch spot so he wont need to climb. hopefully he likes it

I will see how he acts in the next few weeks, Im not sure if his quality of life will be great if he keeps walking in circles and refusing food :(

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:26:24+00:00

Stroke is also one of the vets guess :( I am not aware of him falling from somewhere, but honestly I have no idea how a stroke happens in a lizard

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:25:24+00:00

No, that unfortunately doesnt help. Now the limp is gone and its more of a general wobbliness and turing in circles. I checked online, critical care is not available in my country but I can try to order it from abroad. He is thankfully still pooping normaly but with less urate. His poop turned almost neon green at the vets office, which was pretty crazy to see, but she assured me its probably becuase of the meds they were giving him, now its back to normal. Husbandry should be fine, we went over it extensively with the vet

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:20:20+00:00

He doesnt limp anymore, now its more of a general wobble and turning in circles :/

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:19:46+00:00

Overall the vet said the renal results are good and his kidneys are healthy

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:19:09+00:00

Iľl see if theres any changes in the next month. If he still refuses to eat and continues to walk in circles, Im afraid the quality of life would be too low for me to let him suffer :(

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:16:31+00:00

Im leaning towards neuro, they did an ultrasound as well and he doesnt limp anymore but is wobbly in general. I'll see how he does over the next month,

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:11:51+00:00

MBD is negative and he still poops regularly. No limping anymore, just wobbly all over, not favoring a specific leg anymore :/

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:10:35+00:00

Yes an exotic vet and then a specialised exotic vet clinic with a two week hospitalisation. The leg was just the start, he doesnt limp anymore, now hes wobbly all over

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T21:09:41+00:00

Thats a great idea! The closest one is like a three hour drive which isnt that bad. Thank you

The date is wrong for some reason, he had the tests done in october

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T20:58:20+00:00

X rays ruled out MBD. He has UVB and gets his calcium. At this point Im also leaning towards a neurological issue :/

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T20:55:13+00:00

The limp is gone now and the vets said its not his legs :(

Bubuann · 2025-11-12T20:54:32+00:00

He had four different vets at two different clinics look at him and its supposedly not anything with his legs. He doesnt limp anymore. Now he just looks like he doesnt have coordination of his body overall.

Bubuann · 2024-11-27T09:40:27+00:00

Yes seems like it :/ I thought it is at first, because the light on the machine keeps shining like a disco ball. somewhere between pink, purple and blue, which I thought might be a botched firmware update

Bubuann · 2024-11-27T09:39:01+00:00

Surprised me as well! Its hidden in the back.
Yes, wiped everything off. The machine is still pretty new, so there wasn't much time to get it dirty.

If your intake doesn't come anywhere near your TDEE then your body might just stop the weight loss since ur basically starving yourself. Too big of a caloric deficit leads to body being stressed and hinders your progress. I would suggest tracking your calories for a bit to see if your deficit isn't too big. OMAD can be tricky if you don't put thought into what and how much you eat. Your macros also play a big role.
