Hi there.
My son is a new owner of 2 young ( few month old) bearded dragons. 1 male and 1 female. He's had them together for about a month now. Tonight he found the female with a bloody foot that was partially severed most likely from being bit I suppose from the male. I rehab injured squirrels, and rodents but not familiar with emergency care for a reptile. He's on his way to an emergency vet clinic an hour away that has only treated reptiles a few times. We'll take her to a local vet tommorow. Can anyone give us some advice on what to do tonight for her care?
I have medications for mammals but not sure of the dosage for a reptile. Also, regarding seperating them, he only has one aquarium with heating lamps etc. How can we temporarily provide her with a safe place to spend the night until the stores open in the morning?
Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
