Hospital Stories

Bearded dragon husbandry

Proper husbandry is the foundation of a healthy pet bearded dragon. Many of the medical problems veterinarians see — including weak legs, soft jaws, yellow fungus disease, and poor growth — are caused by incorrect diet, lighting, temperature, or enclosure setup.

Metabolic bone disease in bearded dragons

Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is one of the most common and preventable diseases in pet bearded dragons. It is typically caused by calcium deficiency, inadequate UV-B lighting, improper diet, or a combination of these factors.

Yellow fungus disease in bearded dragons

Yellow fungus disease is a serious and often fatal fungal infection in pet bearded dragons. It is caused by Nannizziopsis guarroi and leads to yellow or brown crusted skin lesions that may spread rapidly.
