Need some advice, only had my bearded dragon for a month! Noticed today he is dragging one of his front legs! I knew something was off with him but didn’t know what till today! He is not eating, barely moves at all, been laying on his carpet just sleeping! It’s his left front leg not sure what or how it happened! Not climbing up on to his normal basking spot! Any advice is greatly appreciated, he’s just a little guy! So worried

Most likely a broken shoulder! He’s too small for X-rays she said, told me to keep him flat and take everything out of his enclosure. That most likely he fell from his basking spot. Take him back in a month! Have to get his food and water to him, he did eat a Dubia before taking him to vets but only one! Hasn’t had interest in his food, gotta get him to eat some how.
Poor guy. Hope he recovers quickly. You can try making a slurry for him with fresh greens and some supplements. Feed it to him in a syringe by just dripping a bit on the tip of his nose and seeing if he will lick it off.
Another good thing to get that will help with the inflammation and any discomfort he has with his shoulder is something called serrapeptase. It's an enzyme found naturally in silkworms but you can buy it in liquid form from bearded dragon.co or from bug de lite. It helps with inflammation and pain.

Awe poor thing! Hope he recovers quickly.. Ditto what patsy said just make sure you drip it slowly and don't squirt it in his mouth so he doesn't aspirate on it.
