She did not, but she developed this really weird habit of holding everything she would eat in her throat, and would often throw it back up if she ate too much. Who knows for sure if the timing was coincidence or the incident was the cause.did she get a respotory infection after?
Thank youHow scary. I hope Zen slowly gets back to himself and the lack of eating is because he's freaked out as well. This is truly scary and quick thinking on your feet. We all think we are taking good care of our beardies and we simply never know what's next. We do our best! I am so glad Zen is on the road to recovery we are all here rooting for you/Zen-everyone. I hope your girlfriend was able to sleep- but she probably didn't take her eyes off of him and that's understandable.
Thank you for the kind wordsThanks for the warning and all the best for Zen! So sad to see this happen on Christmas as well.
Unfortunately a lot of people give baths to their dragons because they find it cute or something and not because the dragon needs it (they hardly ever do). I know you have always been carefull with this and it is not fair for YOU to make this awful experience now.
On the other hand the dragon of someone who is less experienced or careing than you, might have passed away that day....
I agree with every point you made. My guys will all be getting their hydration strictly from an eyedropper from now on. It was so out of character for him to even drink that way, he had never drank from a bath before. Also I had just given them all water the day before and he drank his fill.I found common points in your case and in what happened in @Claudiusx
Before aspirating, both dragons drank while bathing.
Perhaps their instinct to “drink water” turned on and they could not “turn it off” while breathing.
I don’t know all the intricacies of how a dragon’s nervous and respiratory systems work, but I feel like there’s some kind of connection here.
We can all conclude that if a dragon drinks from the bath then we need to be 100, 1000 times more vigilant and prevent diving after he has drunk!
I am following this topic closely. And I’m very glad that everything worked out without RI.I agree with every point you made. My guys will all be getting their hydration strictly from an eyedropper from now on. It was so out of character for him to even drink that way, he had never drank from a bath before. Also I had just given them all water the day before and he drank his fill.
I'm just glad folks are taking it to heart how serious it is and how quickly it can happen.
I hope everyone reads up on how to handle it if it does happen, it very well might make the difference between a scare and tragedy.
