Hi,
I've got a bearded dragon who is approximately a year old; he only has three legs and is normally a hyper active animal - had him for 6months.
This morning I woke up to find him walking around drunk and struggling to get about, he is rolling occasionally, dragging his limbs, very swollen and his eyes seem a bit glazed over and not correctly working but then every so often his eyes will brighten up. He is very black in his beard and neck also. He does seem to be shedding so I don't know if that makes a difference but normally when shedding he is fine.
Yesterday he had 3 hoppers in the morning and some asparagus before bed, he has never had asparagus before so don't know if this may affect it?
I do dust the crickets occasionally but not consistently.
I have read in a few pages he may have vitamin A, B and calcium deficiency - how would I help this?
Lights went out around 10pm which is normal, but he carried on running round and playing in the water bath which is unusual for him but he was okay looking so I left him to it.
I'm really worried but we don't have any reptile vets near me!
Thanks
