Bearded Dragon Just Lays there All Day

[Vanillablooos]

Here is the response I got from a vet tech mod --
For a subluxation in the vertebrae, they will have to keep the activity of
their dragon very limited. There is obvious swelling of the area which is
pinching or pressing on the nerves which is the cause of the back leg
paralysis.
Water therapy can be helpful but care must be taken so that they don't
hurt him further. Have they moved his basking & UVB lighting down to a
lower distance so that he doesn't have to try & climb up to it?
How did this happen?

It's not sure how it happened. Not sure at all. I will place him in the tub ans see if I can get him to move around in his own. I have nothing in his enclosure that he can climb on under his basking area. It may take a little time for him to heal. I'm hoping calcium supplements help build his strength up in his bones Thank you for finding this information!!!!!

That is a good sign that there isn't any nerve damage & that he did
move his legs when prompted to. It may take some time for his leg
function to improve but working with him should help a lot, just go slowly
with him.
Please follow her advice

How is Spike getting on?

Thank you for asking! He is doing well. I could not spend much time with him yesterday due to a family emergency that came up. I just fed him and hopefully today I can take him outside.
