Hello, my adult beardie accidentally ate some avocado. It was about a tea spoon amount and I’ve given her some activated charcoal to hopefully get it to pass. Can anyone help me if there’s anything else I can do? All the vets are closed due to it being the new year.

No she’s still her normal colors
Ok that is good ---- so the charcoal is doing its job -- its when they start having a reaction to the stuff they are black bearding maybe throwing up convulsions etc------------ give her lots of water to flush the system -- syringe but do it nice and slow so she does not aspirate let her swallow what you put in -- the quicker she goes to the bathroom will get the toxins out of the system -- maybe a nice warm bath

ok I heard back from someone I asked and she said this

She'll probably be fine , the charcoal will absorb anything harmful . Although avocado should be avoided, even without the charcoal a dragon should be fine if accidentally ate a little bit.
