he is this really weird color, his beard has been black ever since he threw up, when I pick up his body he's stiff, as if he is going through rigor mortis (he's alive and breathing though). I don't know what's going on. Also the mucusie looking stuff he threw up was transparent and yellow. And I have given him water since he threw up and he hasn't perked up or anything
 
Our Diamond is almost 8 years old, and other than mouth rot we haven't dealt with too many illnesses. So I don't have much experience to offer. Sorry to hear your dragon is sick. I hope someone else can offer you advice or you can take your dragon to a vet tomorrow if he is still acting that sick.

One thing I learned about Diamond being ill, dragons can be quick sick and hide it for weeks. We only found out Diamond had mouth rot when we took him in to board for a short vacation. He was eating and running around fine. I'm glad at least our vacation meant he saw the vet before it got any worse!

Something is very seriously wrong and he's bb and stiff because he's in agony …. is there a chance he's aspirated some bath water (nearly drowned himself) , you could keep him warm and place him s his head is lower than his bottom and maybe some water will drain out of his longs.

If there is vet very near by, this counts as an emergency , but it's very likely from your description he wont survive long enough to get there.

I hope I am wrong , and know you are likely very upset .

No bath water, he hasn't dirtied himself in a while and the last time i gave him a full bath was 2 weeks ago (since he's quite old I usually just wipe him down with a towel and warm water). He survived the night but he seems the same, bb, stiff, and a weird pale color.

You need to get him to see a vet so they can examine him and work out what's causing this , and maybe a treatment plan that can at least make him more comfortable and give him pain relief.

My mother has agreed to take him to a vet, it is Sunday though and only emergency vets are open (they are really expensive) and so we will take him to a vet tomorrow. Are there any home remedies to relieve some of his pain for now?

I wouldn't wait another 24 hours , at the very least it means 24 hours of unnecessary suffering and agony on his part if he can't be saved and needs to be euthanized , and an extra 24 hours will likely result in his deterioration past being able to be saved all for the saving of a few $.

I know I know, I tried to tell my mom that he should see a vet today and she said they were expensive, I can't really argue with my mom about this stuff. I hate that he's suffering and I hate that I'm not old enough to do anything about it, I would do anything to take him to the vet right now
