Hello
My Bearded dragon, Dinky, had an anurism in his jaw last year. It made a small, hard bump, but otherwise he was fine. The vet said that nothing could be done, and to just make sure he stays happy and healthy. However, the bump started to grow, filling with fluid and he became emaciated. I took him back to the vet (a different one). He said to help him gain some weight so that they could attempt to remove it in a few months. The fluid was not bloody, so it was not bleeding. The bump continued to grow, however he gained weight and was doing pretty good. Then yesterday he suddenly went downhill. His eyes were the most sunken in that I had ever seen in a beardie and it seemed as if he lost a ton of weight overnight. I thought he was dead. I did everything I could possibly do, and what the vet recommend, but unfortunately this morning, he passed away. Once I calmed down, I did a little exploring and took some fluid out and it definitely had blood in it. The tissue inside the mass was chunky and soft and disconnected. The corner of his mouth is red and vieny under the skin. I was wondering if maybe he had another anurism and if anyone has had this experience before. I did everything the vet said to do. I am going back to the vet to talk about this. Dinky was suffering in his last hours, at least now his pain is gone.
