I didn’t know where else to post this...
I don’t know what happened. He started black bearding yesterday (which I didn’t know was possible at only 3-4 months old). I just finished putting in new furnishings for him and he seemed to be having a ball, making sure his little lizard butt got on every last area. The beard didn’t go away all evening and I guess I just assumed he was being a drama dragon. He ate, pooped, nothing unusual. I put him to bed in his little sleep sack after lights out. This morning he was still in bed at 10. I took him out and put him under his basking light and went about our normal routine. He’s never been a morning lizard, so I leave him be to eat his veggies until I hear him tap his glass, which has been his way to tell me he pooped. I went to check on him and found him with vomit hanging all around his mouth and his eyes bulging. I grabbed him out and started pulling out undigested lettuce. I took him to the sink and placed him in warm water, massaging his belly. I placed him back under his heat lamp and let him rest. He was very sleepy and obviously exhausted. Then I heard this god awful gagging noise and he was thrashing and fell off his stick and he was on his back limp. I checked his throat and there was no obstruction but he was salivating quite heavily and I just sat with him and rubbed him trying to bring him back around but his breathing stopped. I thought he was gone but then he came back to life and started arching his back and calling in his side and he looked so scared and all I could do was just hold him against my chest and then he was just gone, still clutching my finger.
He had such a rough start in this world and he left it the same and my heart is just broken. I have hopes that he might come back to life but I’m pretty sure he’s passed. His body is stiff and his mouth and eyes are open. Should I give it 24 hours or is he definitely gone? What do you think happened?? I’m so sorry i just...I don’t know what else to do
