hi, i was wondering if you could help.
i found a 40cm bearded dragon outside my house (wild one) with about a 3cm gash and his stomach hanging out.
i have irrigated and put it back in and bandaged it up. i have been giving him water and so far his is in day 3 and is still looking ok.
he is looking around but is not aggressive at all. i am unsure what to feed him and was wondering if you could give me some advice that might get his recovery happening a little quicker. i have not stitched up the wound or anything like that.
we do not have access to a vet so we are doing what we can.
he is moving around an this morning has run across the deck. we do not think it is safe to allow him back in the wild with the open wound so we are keeping him in a tub that allows diffused light in and bring him out to sun himself a couple of times a day. when he moves into the shade we put him back in the tub.
not sure what else to do with him
if we could get any kind of advice we would appriciate it.
Janet
