I sure will. I tried to offer him watter again but this time I kept insisting and kept putting the syringe in his mouth and pushing in water slowly he must of gotten a little bit of water in him. Hopefully he gets better soon.

He's definitely in better shape than some of the dragons I've had - that's always a good start.
If you haven't already, a shallow, warm bath for 20 minutes would certainly help. Keep a very close eye to make sure he doesn't nod off - you don't want him breathing in water.

If you can get hold of it (your vet certainly can), Oxbow small herbivore mix is a miracle-worker. It's full of nutrients, low in protein, it mixes well with calcium and goes through a wide bore baby medicine syringe with ease - blib it on the top lip scale, and run the tip of the syringe under the lip to trigger licking, then continue supplying to the top lip. A couple of 3-to-5ml feeds a day will soon have him in good shape. Don't worry if he doesn't eat all of the portion - little and often works well, especially combined with plenty of time under the basking lamp.

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear this =(. I know you did the best you could and thank you so much for trying. You made a difference in his life by giving him your best effort and I'm sure he appreciated it.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
