My baby bearded dragon (named baby Jorgie till we could find out the sex) died with in 12 hours. He was 2 months old. This morning he wouldn't open his eyes. He wasn't moving. He has slowly been eating less over the last few days. Otherwise he was acting normal. We took him out gave him his normal bath and he would wake up for a few seconds and then right back to laying with his eyes closed. It just went down hill from there. It started with him standing in his cool area with eyes closed. Then laying down with eyes closed, barley responsive to touch. About an hour ago he had what I would say was a seizure and passed some stool that looked normal. I picked him up and he struggled to go more and blood came out. I put him back. He was completely flat to the cage shuffling oddly. Then he started opening his mouth and just jerking everywhere. Within 10 minutes he was gone. I have not heard of the virus before researching through tears what happened to my baby. Problem is my teenage son touched the baby and didn't wash his hands ?. He took our healthy 4 year old Jorgie out of his cage. I am terrified this could have been the problem and it was passed to my other one! The only vet that specializes in bearded dragons isn't seeing anyone because of Covid-19. They referred us to someone else who is not able to help us. Does the virus kill them so quickly? I have the correct setup. He was fed correctly and all vitamins were supplied. I can't lose Jorgie. He is family.
