bearded dragon fell from 3 feet, landed on the ground and went stiff stopped breathing and closed his eyes. took him to the emergency vet and the dont normally deal with bearded dragons, but did as much as they could. they did and xray and nothing looks broken. They also put him in a bin with oxygen for 3 hours. after about 15 to -25 mintues he came around and picked up his head and opens his eyes. every since the fall he has been "gulping" "swallowing" and sticks his toung out a bit when he does it. She thinks it could be some head trauma. the vet said we could take him home and keep an eye on him. its been 26 hours since the fall and he had pooped twice (everything is normal. not blood) he is moving but slower then normal and his eye's are halfed closed. the gulping is getting less and less but still every 3-5 mintues. he has not ate today, and we even gave him his favorites, (crickets,lettus,carrots,raspberrys) we have got electrolyte and vitamin liquid supplement that we are mixing with water and useing a seringe too make sure he getting water. MY QUESTION IS: does it sound like internal bleeding, brain damage? and is he slowing dying right now? what are the signs of him dying? i cant afford another 600 dollars at the vet is hes going to be ok on his own. but i will if nessary, anyone elce ever been though this??????? does he need more time to come around?
