Hi everyone, My dragon Oscar is about 15 months, 270 grams, adenovirus positive, and a female as it turned out.
I think she had been wanting to bromate for many months. She had a very rock first six months. We didn’t realize she had coccidia until I took a sample to the vet and found out she was riddled with it. So the vet prescribed albon and the other really common one for pin worms, I think 5 days worth. At the time she was about 17-18 weeks old and 65 grams. She didn’t eat for 10 days and seemed quite stressed. Before I took the sample all she wanted to do was hide and sleep, so that’s when I started documenting weight, behavior, eating, etc.
I had to force feed her baby food and acidophilus for a while and after many weeks she started gaining weight and eating on her own but never seemed to enjoy anything didn’t bask for very long, always wants to hide.
Eventually I took her to a reptile vet (no nearby) and got the full work up, her bones were good, she was adenovirus positive and the only irregularity with her blood work was elevated protein. I cannot get her to eat any substantial amount of vegetables.
So October 15 at just over a year old I let her brumate.
I woke her up about a week in to soak her because I thought she still had some poop to get rid of and she did her wiggling to try and get it out, but no luck.
So I put her back, she hid, and a week later I soaked her again and she got it out. I offered her salad, nope, I offered crickets, they just crawled on her.
So I put her back.
I check on her often and a lot of times she opens her eyes and looks at me. But she won’t eat the salad I put in there.
She doesn’t seem to want to live.
Should I let her just keep brumating?
When should I intervene?
And her enclosure is more than adequate, I have been through that a million times back in January.
Thoughts? Advice?
Please and Thank you
