Hello,

If you can post a picture of your dragon, we can assess her more effectively. Some dragons tend to have more droopy eyes than others do. It may have something to do with genetics as well.
How often do you give calcium & vitamins? How old is your dragon?

Hello,

OH yeah if you were using calcium every feeding then cut that back to just one calcium dusting per day, 5 days per week. She might have been getting too much calcium which will cause dehydration, etc.
Try that & see if there is any improvement in her eyes.

Hello,

No change in the eyes yet? How long have they been droopy for?
Are you giving extra oral fluids daily? That can really help if she is dehydrated. What is the humidity in the tank at?

Hello,

So her eyes were not droopy until a week or so ago?
Which vitamins are you using again?
Baths are helpful & spraying the veggies as you are doing should help quite a bit too. Does she eat most of them, or not?
Some dragons tend to have a little bit of natural droop to the shape of their eyes, while others don't.

Hello,

So she is looking a little better today? Perhaps it was a little bit of dehydration. The vitamins may have helped her out somewhat also. Does she seem to feel better as well?

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!
