My 8 year old beardie Shade was diagnosed with cancer back in Feb. ( made a previous post about it, he made a remarkable recovery btw ), but I believe I just witnessed him have a seizure and pass. He's been a bit lethargic lately but I thought nothing of it because he seems to go through periods of fatigue and then periods of lots of energy. His tank is in my room and I got up after a long nap to check him and watched him open his mouth and wriggle to one side and then proceed to do it on the other side all while seemingly digging his face into the ground while doing it. Then he went slack with his mouth open. That scared me so I picked him up and he was totally limp, I tried syringing him some water and he took it, but now his jaw is totally slack and won't shut. He's an old boy and with cancer I knew he wouldn't be around much longer ( especially coming from a pet shop and not a breeder ). I tried to flip him to the side a bit to see if he'd correct himself and he's very unresponsive, I just feel a little helpless in this situation.
If Shade has passed, I really don't know what to do with his body. I have a large dog and I'm nervous he'd try and dig up whatever we would burry Shade in, and I don't want to just throw out his body.
Thanks so much
