I posted a message about a month ago about my aprox 10-15 year old beardie loosing muscle mass well over the last couple weeks trying to get him back up to health I finally brought him to the vet when he started refusing food. between the weight loss, dehydration and mild jondus my vet figures he's more than likely having liver complications but there is no sighs of inflammation so my vet an I are both hoping we can get him healthy. So now my poor baby now has to have fluid injections to help with his dehydration (which came on in a mater of days), seringe feeding, and baytril injections as well. I though I'd let those interested know what his "guarded" prognosis was.

I'm so sorry to hear that....my thought and prayers are with you and Sammy for a quick recovery.

we had something like this happen to us in june 03, to our male (george) the "sub" vet put him on "milk thistle" . he seemd to get better, then started losing wieght again. we took him to our vet this time and we are still treating him for some calcium problems,if you would like i can post more info, like symptoms, and blood work from beginning till now

I would sure like to see the information you have. I try to keep a file of information to reference when problems start popping up.
Take care,
Karen
