Stray beardie seems to possibly have a recent and serious injury to his right eye. His pupil is being stretched sort of diagonally, but he will open the eye outside and use it while outside.
His tail has been partially amputated at some point but the last 1/2” looks grey and uncomfortable and weird and I can’t tell if it is stuck shed or possibly tail rot. When he fired up his happy outside colors when I took him out to get UV today, most of the tail had splotches of orange including parts of the darker grey bit.
His right foot has an amputated and completely healed toe, but at least one other toe appears to be broken and not set.
His bowel movement was liquid at first, then a green jelly-like mass. The liquid and urate were tinged just the slightest bit of pink. It smelled awful. I suspect parasites.
His appetite is good. His demeanor is the best sweetest rambunctious little thing. His mouth and teeth are perfect. His eyes are bright and he is inquisitive. He is trained to sit on a shoulder. He seems afraid of thunder. He tried to bolt on me earler and I think that is how he got lost to the point that I spotted him attacking the undercarriages of cars in a busy street.
Because I am not planning to keep him and we do not have any of our previous beardie’s supplies from 6 years ago I have been keeping him warm with a rice sock rewarmed every 30-45 minutes, taking him outside for some afternoon zone 10-b sunshine, feeding him dandelion green and butternut squash salads with slivers of bell pepper and a tiny bit of minced berries on top with 2-3 wax worms or a small/medium sized hornworm on top. He loves the salad more than the worms. I am in awe at this little dude. He has been sleeping a lot since I took him off the street. But he was awake for about a 9-10 hour stretch today. Quincy was never as healthy as this beardie is which gives me hope that proper assessment and appropriate interventions will help him recover.
Can someone please help me determine what to do next? We’re in the worst covid-county in florida right now and a vet visit is out of the question unless it is telehealth style.
What can be done for his eye?
What is up with his tail?
His foot?
And the poo?
And how do I load pics to this?
