New to forum, have sick dragon

[rockandroll]

Hi, I am posting this for a friend whom has a sick dragon,

The sick Dragon's name is Rock, and rock has apparently always had some muscle problems, perhaps a deformity which has made her a bit sensitive. She was recently on a five day trip in which she was exposed to lower temperatures several times, after the trip he went into what I would assume is shock. She was taken that day which was this monday and received a shot of vitamin C. They have since force fed her and gotten a little water into her. She seemed to be doing a little better, but then went into shock again she is now very still with her mouth open. I fear a turn for the worse, but am hoping there is something that can be done. They have a decent sized wood box structure with plexi windows. A heater is attached to one of the plexi windows. is this ok. The temperature at the coolest point is 85 degrees. She has one companion, Her name is Roll. Yes Rock and Roll, and they are very loved.

I am a tropical fish man, not lizard man, but I've always been a fan. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

has the viv got uv lighting and a heat sorce ? how old are the dragons? what are the dragons being fed? do the dragons recieve calcium substitute on their greens? when you say the dragon goes into shock what does she do is she off her food and sleeping alot if so this trip with a cooler climate could have sent her into brumation this is the dragons version of hibernation this happens in the cooler parts of the year as the dragons are cold blooded and depend on heat and uv to digest their food and regulate their body heat, in the colder parts of the year this is harder for the dragons to do so they go into brumation, please dont quote me on this as if you friend is concerned please take her to a specialist vet with a stool sample from the dragon in question and look up brumation on the net or a beardie care sheet which will explain in more detail i hope your friend gets it sorted soon.

In addition to Paul's questions, has the dragon been taken to a herp vet? If so, what did the herp vet diagnose?

Is the other dragon acting the same way?

Bearded dragons should NOT be housed together. They are not social creatures and one will dominate over the other, which can lead to death.
