Bearded dragon clogged pores: Should I remove wax or use antibiotics?

Question

Hi, my bearded dragon has femoral pores that look very clogged. Along with baths to loosen the pores, what kind of antibiotics should be used for this? Does the waxy stuff in the pores need to be removed?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Unless there is infection, antibiotics should not be used. If Fireball needs medication, have your herp veterinarian examine him and dispense meds if indicated. Routine soaking and having a rough branch or two to rub on is typically enough to keep the femoral pores from becoming impacted.
