My bearded dragon looks ill!?

Question

My bearded dragon has been acting weird latley and i found a unusual bump on his back and just today i foundd a sore on his underside. I was planning on taking him to the petstore to see if someone could help but i wold like to to hear what you have to say considering im not exactly a reptile expert.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It's tough to say what it may be w/out looking at it or knowing more details. If you're taking to a pet store such a petco, pet supplies plus, etc, don't bother. they wouldn't know a egyptian uromastyx from a mali uromastyx. I would take the beardie to a vet. The systems may sound serious enough to take him to a vet. You will get professional advice and the right diagnosis. I don't think I would bathe a beardie in kool aide btw.

Answer 2

The best advice anyone can give you is to go to the vet as soon as you can.

Answer 3

I wouldnt fully trust the advice for an ill dragon on here, just to be on the safe side. It could be anything, go to the vet or petstore. Good luck. ♥

Answer 4

Well if you have a heat rock that'll do it

Answer 5

The sore could be from any loose crickets you have left in your tank, they tend to nibble on your beardie when your beardie is done feeding.  I would not worry about it unless conditions worsen and he becomes lethargic and stops eating.

Answer 6

i was at a pet store and asked what to do if my beardie looks ill, and they told my to put her in a bath(with warm water), put some kool-aid (or power-aid or gater-aid, if they have that in powder form) powder on a warm damp washcloth, and rub it on ur beardie. when the see the water move they should drink it, plus the powder stuff is gewd for them.
