Here's what she has asked
Where did you get them from? Do you know the true age? Please post a pic of the set up? Is it smaller than the others? Try dripping water on the snout see if it will drink like every 5 seconds very slowly

That is terrible I am so sorry --- did you get the dragon from a breeder or a box store? The surface basking temps and UVB are extremely important for dragons starting from hatching of the eggs -

The owner of the shop is ringing me this morning so I will find out if Groot was in same Viv n take it from there I'm not happy with what's happened to the baby no animal should have to go through that n no owner should witness that thank you for talking to me n helping me .. I'm not coping all I'm seeing when I shut me eyes is the baby having seziers il let you know what the shop says

I just wanna tell you n warn other dragons owners about this virus ... get full history from the breeder ... symptoms ... lack of growth this slows the growth right down ... sleeping at the time ... diarrhea ... not gaining weight ... but if the dragon isn't growing at a normal rate then please please get him or her checked for this virus if caught in time the vets can do tests n give proper treatment don't wait take them straight to the vets X I'd hate anyone to see n go through this

We have a vet tech on this board that is currently doing research on the adenovirus - I will flag your post to her

Hi I spelled the name of its actually Atadenovirus

Hello,

Oh no, I am so very sorry you lost your little one this
way, it is so heartbreaking to see them go through
all of that. :-(
It sounds like your dragon was way too small to have
been shipped or sold.
My condolences to you & your family.
