impacted baby

[Brett]

i think i have a impacted baby. Its on a bare bottom tank not sure why it would get impacted but i can feel a lump in its belly and it hasnt really been eating. Whats treatment methods are out there im soaking him right now in warm water

 

[Bill]

how old is it did you hatch it

 

[Brett]

it was born on march 1. did not hatch we bought him

 

[Bill]

does he eat greens

 

[Brett]

he ate them good till a few days ago. and now he doesnt seem to touch them much

 

[Bill]

we have used a few drops of olive oil and worm soaks

 

[Bill]

sent you some hornworms feed him them

 

[Brett]

Im soaking now and do light bellly massage. Im thinking perhaps i may have cut a chunk of squash to big and it got stuck. Ill work on the soak and massage for awhile then try Olive oil

 

[Brett]

Oh ok bill thanks.

 

[Brett]

I was also reading online babyfood prunes what are your thoughts on that. if i cant get him to poo tonight its off to the vet tomarrow

 

[Bill]

we have used babyfood for sick dragons

This is the little guy thats impacted. We took her to the vet yesterday but not alot of the help there. Unfortunatly there is only one halfass herp vet in town. They did give her a enema and sent us home and told us to continue doing warm bath, prunes, olive oil,and belly massage. It doese eat its prunes so i hope thats a good sign. No stool this morning i hope it lets loose soon. Shes running around and acting normal just not eating her crickets or salad.

Well good news she just passed the blockage guess persistence pays off, shes chasing crickets again im so relieved.
