Day 16:
Allie's doing better this time. There's no discharge from her glottis whatsoever and only has her mouth open a slit. She had her mouth open when I came home so I'm thinking she's just thermoregulating herself because she's basking. The temps are on the high end and she seems to feel better when she's there. It's about 30-43 degrees C.

Update: Allie was basking all day under her lights and guess what? She was breathing on her own. I saw her sides moving for the first time as she breathed. That's a good thing and Reptaid XL is starting to work.

Awesome!!! It sounds like allie is on the upside of things finally
Yes, I do have one single question. Allie still doesn't eat on her own. She leaves the greens alone and looks at them. Doesn't even make an attempt to eat them on her own. Reptaid is supposed to help give her an appetite and make her eat. She ate at 3 in the morning, a green bean greens slurry with vitamins. I'm worried that she's not getting enough to eat. She looks like she's losing weight now.
What can I do to make her gain some weight and get her eating on her own? I've given her everything I can think of including tempting butternut squash-colors. I'm thinking of buying beardie bites or something to get her back up. Is there something I can give to her other than a slurry of greens and green beans?

My beloved Allie passed away at 2:19 this afternoon, after a long struggle with her illness. Please pray for us and her soul. She did nothing wrong in this world and it's so unfair, but G-d has his reasons, I suppose. She died in my arms. I love you Allie.

I'm sad. And so sorry for you. We know you did all you could and know that she loved you. rest in peace Allie
Wait!!! She just opened her eyes! She's gaping. OMG! This is truly a miracle. I rubbed her back and she's coming back! Mom and I were crying and praying over her and holding her. She first responded to mom about food, then she wouldn't eat her watermelon she loves. So mom said it was involuntary movements. She's coming back! Thank you G-d! YAY! She just bit my finger. I was able to put it in her mouth earlier and nothing. Now she bit down.

Omg now way. Wot a miracle. How is she ? Its she breathing ok ? X,
This is her mom mom. She's outside with her mommy, bright and alert and drinking water from a spray bottle. She sticks her tongue out, which she didn't do before. I did expect her to pass away, but not so soon. I kept preparing my daughter for it, but I was just as weepy as she was. I love that little creature. Who knew you could love a lizard so much? My lab came in when he heard the crying and tried to lick her body. I just let him do it. I knew he wasn't going to hurt her. She's always afraid cuz he's so big, but she didn't even flinch. So, I figured okay, let him do his thing. He started reviving her I guess.
Such an amazing story! She seemed to take a turn for the better the past few days so it was shocking to see that she passed. I am sitting at my desk at work and I started to cry for her. I am so happy she turned around! Nobody expects to love a lizard as much as they love their bearded dragons. Even when they are bad they just attach themselves to our hearts. I'm really happy for you guys right now!
That's a good idea, I wonder if they could give advise.
Atlanta Zoo is closed for beastly feast day! Will call tomorrow. Pray she stays with me.
Patsy, she's a little fighter, a miracle from above. We need her in our lives. I'm thankful for all of you for loving her. My mom can't stop crying over her. She loves Allie as much as I do.
