parasites ?!!! HELP!

Albert · #1 05-20-2006, 04:15 PM

anyone has experience with the bearded dragons? How to recognise the symptoms? Or what is it? I found lots of information how to take care of but we want to be sure - we have some photos if anyones interested to see

What sort of parasites are we talking about?

If you are in doubt about it having internal parasite you can take a fecal sample to a veterinarian and have them do a fecal float test and then they can identify anything it might have and give you the proper medicines to treat it.

I noticed the Bearded Dragon had small red spots on one of its legs. I attached some pictures. Has anybody seen something similar?

I will get it to the vet on Monday. I hope it's nothing serious.

Those look like mites, take a q tip and swab over the red, see if they are little bug looking things, if so you know they are mites...

Mites

Hmmm..they don't look like mites to me, they kind of just look like weird pigmentation...do they move?

Albert · #10 05-21-2006, 06:41 PM

That would be a great relief, but how can there be pigmentation? Until what age is it possible? Our bearded are subadultes.
Today we noticed that the leg where the toes attache is a bit swallowed and reddish - anyway tomorrow is the D to go to the vet so fingers crossed !
This w-kend was such a nightmare - since they are newcomers, new terrarium which we think is now polluted...phhhhhhh
