A Bloated Bearded Dragon

22 13:57:08

Question
Our dragon looks bloated just like what is described as Vit A toxicity. We have not been giving her a multi- vitamin. We feed her greens carrots millworms, superworms and crickets.

Thank you for your knowledge.

Answer
Bloat can also be a sign of parasites, or other medical conditions.  I would ditch the carrots and go for winter squashes and sweet potato instead.  However, I would strongly urge you to have him seen by a good reptile veterinarian, that would be the only way for a definitive diagnosis and proper treatment.
