ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

[Kayla]

Still no appetite. She hasn't eaten properly for weeks! Is there anything else I can do to give her a bit of nutrients or at least get something inside her?
She hasn't lost weight visibly but the scales I have at home are playing up and she hasn't been weighed for a fortnight so she could have lost and I don't know about it.
I'm gonna get her out for some cuddles and give her belly another feel x
I just want her to be as comfortable as possible

 

[Kayla]

But if nothing changes I'm going to the vet again Monday. It only costs £29 to get her seen and that's not much at all compared to what I was expecting so I'm not going to hesitate x

 

[Kayla]

so worried

You might need a better uvb bulb, another thing you can try is taking your dragon outside for natural sunlight.

 

[Kayla]

They love the real sun!! My mum wants to get a little run to put in the garden so we can let them on the ground without being scared we'll lose them. Also I don't like the idea of her licking the floor and stuff like that so us thinking of putting a blanket down because god knows what's on the floor!!!

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Are you giving your dragon calcium and multi-vitamins? Natural sunlight really perks my dragons up also.

 

[Kayla]

Yes I got a liquid formula of vitamins and calcium from my vet. Mum picked up some cow & gate sweet potato baby food, she's basking in the sun at the minute, and then I'm going to give her a bath, then try it out. Fingers crossed!

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

They seem to pick up alot on mood, when I was worried horribly over my girls they got worse. Once the very said they were fine I relaxed and they perked up slowly. They are fine now.

good luck

 

[Kayla]

She's sussed out the syringe now, when I get it out she runs away! I feel so bad for her because she hates it and I don't want her to hate me because I'm the one that's putting her through it

 

[Kayla]

I agree! My worry isn't making things any better but it helps a lot being able to talk to people about it that have a bit more experience than me, meaning you guys! So thank you

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

She may be lonely, my dragons ALL hate being alone. I put Razor back with my little girls for a visit and they were practically dancing. None of them are old enough to breed so I didn't have any major worries. Maube you can sit your boy outside her cage and see if she changes any.

 

[diegothediggy]

I felt like that when i first got mine but u get to know ur beardie and the.morebl questions u ask n tue more u read the more u learn

 

[PatsyB]

Yes they are very good at picking up on our emotions. I just remind myself to breath. Especially when they are sick they are scared and they need us to be calm so they know what we are doing for them is okay.

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

When I was worried about my little girls my other dragons stood on there back legs looking at me, my turtles also gathered as close to me as they could get.......logan just stayed in his hole :/

 

[Kayla]

I've been giving her lots of cuddles and tlc, still not herself completely but she pooped! So I'm happy for today haha

 

[diegothediggy]

Well all u can do it take every day as it cums

 

[Kayla]

Exactly xx

 

[diegothediggy]

Is she well hydrated. When u pinch her skin on her bak does it stay raised or go bak dwn?

 

[Kayla]

I've been bathing her everyday and pinching the skin occasionally just to be sure x
Gave her a bit more baby food today than what I did yesterday & she's now full of beans! Running around her tank & jumping around :3 I'm One happy mummy today
