No baths- offer water once a week - is he eating salads? Calcium d 3 once a day on the insects lightly coated - once his surface basking temps and uvb are on par his eating should increase- he only needs calcium d 3 once per day - this will change once he turns a year
he has a 6 inch high point distance now but he has the ability to go lower

Хорошо, он выберет то, что ему удобнее всего. Следите за его поведением. У него были еще какие-то судороги?
помогите пожалуйста понять что происходит! наш малыш перестал есть пару дней назад, я его насильно понемногу кормила. утром его вырвало, а к вечеру его обе лапки перестали двигаться. я поменяла лампу, сняла чехол, но становится только хуже

Когда мы его купили, у него были приступы, я думала, что со временем ему станет лучше, условия жизни дома лучше, чем в магазине, но с каждым днем ему становится все хуже.

He had seizures when we bought him, I thought he would get better with time, the living conditions at home are better than in the store, but he gets worse every day

please help me understand what is happening! our baby stopped eating a couple of days ago, I force-fed him little by little. in the morning he threw up, and in the evening his 2 paws stopped moving. I changed the lamp, took off the cover, but it only gets worse

Ok so is he no longer climbing? I need you to get the uvb to around 12 inches directly above him you can use rolled up dish towels for him to prop himself on- get your surface basking temps to 105-110 that range- it sounds like he has neurological issues w/ the convulsing - I was hoping the uvb would help w/ this- I would set up a ceramic heat emitter above for night use- keep your temps around 80 at night- you will need a dome w/ a ceramic socket this is going to help keep his immune system up- Tracie the vet tech on the forum will better be able to help here

Хорошо, так он больше не лазает? Мне нужно, чтобы вы установили УФ-излучение примерно на 12 дюймов прямо над ним, вы можете использовать свернутые полотенца для посуды, чтобы он мог на них опереться, - доведите температуру поверхности до 105-110 в этом диапазоне - похоже, у него неврологические проблемы с конвульсиями - я надеялся, что УФ-излучение поможет с этим - я бы установил керамический излучатель тепла сверху для ночного использования - поддерживайте температуру около 80 ночью - вам понадобится купол с керамической розеткой, это поможет поддержать его иммунную систему - Трейси, ветеринарный техник на форуме, сможет помочь здесь лучше
Неврология лечится? Может нужны какие-то лекарства?

Is neurology treatable? Maybe some medications are needed?

Hello,

Sorry your dragon is not doing well. Are you able to get
one of the mentioned UVB lights/tube bulbs to help?
How often are you using the calcium powder? I would
consider getting some liquid calcium if you can, or are there any vets you could visit to get some prescribed?
Since he is having mobility issues, try to keep his basking areas low, so that he doesn't have to climb too high & accidentally hurt himself.
Is he eating very much on his own? Please let us know if you are able to get one of the tube bulbs, as that is so important.

Hello! he has a lamp like this, I'll send a photo of it. I gave him calcium twice a day along with crickets every day. he doesn't eat on his own now, I feed him (((( should he drink liquid calcium or are these injections? Yes, I'll make him another place to rest
