Question
Hi,
I have recently been to the vet due to diagnose my pygmy bearded dragon with a calcium deficiency. We have been giving him a twice daily .01 ml calcium syrup which is yellowish in colour. The last two days he has developed a bright yellow mouth; gums and tongue. The picture you have previously provided is not similar to the symptom. It may be a result of the calcium syrup however i am very worried as the vet stated he could go into renal failure and liver failure. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,
Rachael S.

Answer
Hello Rachael,

Hm, that is very interesting.  
How is he acting right now?
How do his urates look?  
How are his eyes looking, are they yellowing, or sunken in at all?
So, obviously these discolorations started after you began giving the liquid calcium?  Is it liquid gluconate or glubionate?  It should state on the bottle.  Does it say the strength?
I have never owned a Pygmy dragon, but I know they are very small.  How much does he weigh?

How did they diagnose a calcium deficiency, by blood work/tests, or an x-ray or simply by observatory exam?
Why did the vet say he was worried he could go into renal or hepatic failure, due to the liquid calcium or because of his state of health?

Do you have any pictures of him?  The only way to determine for sure if it is the liquid calcium causing this is to take him off of it for a few days, to see if the discoloration clears up any.
It is a possibility that there is a dye or coloring in it that "could have" stained his mouth, but, not a high probability.
