Bearded Dragon Acting Dizzy

Hi, I have a Female Bearded Dragon, 8 years old. She started acting strangely a couple of weeks ago. Seems to be dizzy, and has a hard time pinpointing her aim to get her food, although still has a very good appetite. Does anyone have an idea of what this may be, or has had a beardy that exhibits this behavior and has taken their beardy to a vet for diagnosis? Any info would help to see what im dealing with.

I don't know, it would probably be a good idea to get a vet visit...

Yup, off to the vet. Be sure its a herp specific vet, not a regular dog or cat vet.

I agree a vet visit is in order. Believe it or not, they can loose their balance from inner ear problems just like we do, so its best to have it checked.

Re: Bearded Dragon Acting Dizzy

If it is an inner ear problem, what is the recommended treatment usually?

Taking it to the vet! This isn't something that you can diagnose or treat via a forum.
