Bearded Dragon Diseases: Wasting Disease (“Stargazing” or Atadenovirus)

[findi]

Hi All,

Bearded Dragons are among the hardiest of all lizards, and very well-suited to captivity. However, a serious viral disease to which they are prone is well-established among populations in the USA and several other countries. Unfortunately, Atadenovirus infections, also known as Wasting Disease and Star Gazing, are incurable and difficult to detect by symptoms alone. Related viruses afflict Blue-Tongued Skinks, Fat-Tailed Geckos, Leopard Geckos, chameleons and other reptiles, birds and mammals, but infections are most commonly diagnosed in Bearded Dragons.

Can I ask if you can stop using a link shortener for a little bit? An anti-virus keeps telling me that the link is malicious.

Hi,

here is the direct link: http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatr...-or-stargazing-pet-owners-aid-vital-research/. I need to use Bitly because it allows blog managers to monitor usage, etc. I've used for years, no problems here or reported by any of my readers, so not sure why that message comes up.

Blog home page is http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatreptileblog/. You can type a search there, by subject, if you prefer. I actually find google searches o be more accurate, however (subject plus thatreptileblog typed into google) or just send me a note and I'll send link. Best, Frank
