I lost my beardie last night in his sleep... I'm not completely sure what happened. He was never a "normal" dragon, only reaching about 16 inches and 250 grams of weight. He never wanted to eat food, his last three weeks I was force-feeding him smoothies of things he liked.
My guess is I poisoned him. I think I put too much calcium in his food, and he ended up getting hypercalcemia. It just happened 4 days ago with no warning, the day before he was alive and normal. All of the sudden he went unresponsive, lethargic, left his beard black, and constantly lolled his mouth open. He also threw up 2 days ago.
I'm trying to cope with the fact that my lack of understanding of his health is the reason he is no longer with me. I would love any and all advice or tips I can get, as I currently am entirely blaming myself for his loss. He was 3 years old and I'm not sure how to live without him...
