Today he seems a lot more alert and is breathing normally however he still hasn't moved and won't eat

 

[articwolfgirl]

Id take em to the vet if i was you make sure theres no internal damage

 

[newt7111]

well i have been able to feed him some food and he seems much more alert but he still wont eat on his own or walk

 

[articwolfgirl]

Just take your time with him and dont rush him as i said you might want to make sure theres no inturnal damage.

 

[newt7111]

also he is constipated but i cant really give him a bath so what should i do

 

[newt7111]

hey again he has finally pooped but it was really dry and light brown and just looked wrong ive been feeding him mashed up bearded dragon pellets and small bits of fruit. he is moving a little more now but im a bit worried about his back legs what should i do

 

[discojan]

how about some fresh food--some greens (mustard/collard/endive/turnip) the fiber might help? is he moving around any more?

 

[beardie parents]

give him some sugar free (warm) applesauce. That will make his poop more watery.

 

[newt7111]

Okay I'm afraid I'm having more problems he is more alert and can move sound more but the end of his tail and he toes on his back legs are black and stiff he can't walk on them I'm think they might be dead what should I do?

Can you post a pic?

 

[articwolfgirl]

what happened?

 

[newt7111]

hello again sorry my internet stopped working and we just got it fixed im still having some problems uploading pictures but they should be up soon. I think he either has tailrot or a retained shed... Does anyone know how to tell them apart and what to do.

 

[newt7111]

I am now sure he has tailrot. My vet charges over 300 dollars to amputate his tail and 3 of his legs and he still might not make it... I can't aford that so im just going to try keep him happy till he goes.. Thanks for all of the help.
