While my dad was feeding my beardie, he accidentally sprayed his food with diluted bleach (thought it was water). Will he be okay? Is there anything I can do to help? I am very concerned.

Calling an animal poison control helpline should be your first step whenever a pet ingests something toxic.

If you have any, give him a dose of activated charcoal and plenty of water.

Here's some info on giving activated charcoal to beardies:
"The activated charcoal should be mixed at around 1/16tsp (very small pinch) of charcoal in 10ml of water. Then the mixture should be administered based on body weight.
.02ml for 0-150g
.05ml for 151-300g
.07ml for 301-450g
.09ml for 451-600g
.13ml for 601-750g"

If he only had a little bit of diluted household bleach, he may vomit a few times but will probably survive. Watch for black bearding, vomiting, etc. Ultra-concentrated bleach is much more dangerous.

How is your beardie doing today? I can’t help but worry.

He seems to be behaving normally. I gave him a dose of activated charcoal yesterday. I have been keeping a very close eye on him and will update you if anything changes.
