Hind Leg Paralysis

I got a beardie at a reptile show, and a couple of weeks later I noticed some mobility problems with her hind legs. I am fearing the worst...is there any cure for this? I have an incredible herp vet...

Hind leg paralysis is most often caused when the beardie gets a food item that is too large. When feeding the dragon, a good measure of food size is to not feed the dragon anything bigger than the distance between its eyes. It is hard to bring them back from this, but here is a trick that has worked for us in the past:

Put the bearded dragon in a container with warm shallow water, making sure to not let it drown. As it moves around, slowly increase the water level until the bearded dragon is swimming. Often the movement of swimming clears the obstruction.

If that doesn't clear it up, I'd say a visit to a good reptile vet is the best way to go. I hope that helps.
