I went to my grandmothers house on weekend and left my baby beardie in care of my family but when i came back today it was in horrible condition my step brother said this started the day I left. He's been light eating or avoiding eating since I got him and We have correct lighting but I think my thermometer was off alot and I think I messed up irreversibly. He's not in sand hes in carpet, He's 1 month old or so, he hasn't grown since we got him. Someone on Yahoo Answers said to Euthanize him but I don't want to be that rash if I can still him.
Wow that would be a shocking scenario to come back to.
What did they feed him when you were gone? Did he get injured to cause the paralysis?
Which UVB light are you using for him?
What type of thermometer are you using & what did the temperatures get to?
If you have pictures, you can post them, of him & the enclosure.
If he isn't eating but needs nutrition, you can get some chicken or turkey baby food mixed with squash or sweet potato baby food to feed to him. Use a plastic dropper or syringe to drop onto the end of his nose to see if he will lick some of it off.
Let us know how he is doing.

doesn't seem to have gotten a injury. I found out that the little stick on thermometers are inaccurate so I think he may be in 85-90 avg in basking. He barely ate a single dubia. He lost color to his stomach too. He's sleeping so I don't wanna wake him up for pics but it's not a pretty sight...

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear he passed away! Something happened to him when you were gone, are you sure he wasn't dropped or injured? If he was fine when you left, then there aren't too many options left as to what happened.
I am sorry for your loss.
