I’ll take the water bowl out now.Take the water bowl out. Are you positive she's not overheated ? She does look ill. Is there any chance that she ate a foreign object, do you have fake plants or anything that she might have swallowed ? Broccoli is not a great food for beardies but it wouldn't cause a reaction anything like this. Keep offering a little water but no laxative type foods and no dewrmer. You can keep a little heat on tonight but don't go over 85.
I have absolutely no idea why or how she got sick. I take better care of her than I do of myself. There is literally no telling what’s causing it. I just called a 24 hour vet an hour from me and they said they’d need to hospitalize her overnight for $3500 and that’s minus seeing the doctor and the treatments. She’s really suffering and it’s breaking my heart idk what to do. I’ve been sitting by her tank for the last 5 hours just watching. She came up to my hand a few times it felt like she was saying “help me mom” I’m so heart broken.I hadn't really looked at the poo that's all broccoli, that looks more like vomit. I'm not sure why your poor girl is sick, it's not your fault though and no telling exactly what is causing it.
I do feed her horn worms and they’ve always been the same size I’ve always fed her it’s definitely not the size of her poop, I tend to examine her poops this one had black solider larvae, I also do make sure that she has 1-2 hours of basking after because I did make the mistake of not giving her enough basking time months ago and learned from it. But I’m also thinking if she did release everything from her stomach, what could be causing her to be sick now?do you feed her horn worms or silk worms because the first pic of the poop looks like its a whole worm and she isnt digesting things properly, when you feed her make sure she has about 1-2 hours of basking after because the heat helps her digest it, dont feed her then turn the lights off if you are doing so.
youre doing calcium regularly? and is she drinking any water at all?I do feed her horn worms and they’ve always been the same size I’ve always fed her it’s definitely not the size of her poop, I tend to examine her poops this one had black solider larvae, I also do make sure that she has 1-2 hours of basking after because I did make the mistake of not giving her enough basking time months ago and learned from it.

They neither know what to do or care. No one cares for beardies its always the cats and dogs. I’m really praying she rests overnight and recovers. I’m confused bc she released everything poop/vomit so idk what’s causing her to be sick I hope it’s just exhaustion. Thank you all for pulling for me and IvyOh wow, that's an outrageous price from the E.R. vet and then there's no guarantee they'll know what it is or be able to help. Hopefully she will rest overnight and just maybe recover. This has nothing to do with lack of calcium. I feel so bad, I know everyone reading this is pulling for you + your girl !
Update: her beard is much less black. I came to check on her this morning and she took a lot of water from the syringe, kept clicking her tongue out for more and now she stopped. Could she possibly be dehydrated- should i bathe her?Hello,
So sorry that your girl isn't doing well. She got ill after you gave the broccoli?
That most likely upset her system. The prices for ER are utterly ridiculous, wow!
As suggested, try to keep Ivy warm overnight & definitely hydrated, too. You could get some
activated charcoal also to help detox her system a little bit.
Unfortunately there isn't any guarantee as to purchasing a dragon from a petstore or a breeder.
Have you made a nutritional slurry for her yet?
Keep us posted on her!

Update: she lifted her head. The blackness in her beard is going away and shes taking in lots of water. She opened her eyes for a minuteUpdate: her beard is much less black.

Her eyes are closed though she won’t open them.
Im surprised the broccoli upset her stomach as shes had it before. But shes also released all of it so idk why she’s sick now. I have not made her a nutritional slurry yet could you advise on that please? I was thinking of mixing water and her reptivite in a syringe would that be good?
Update: i think her eyes look much better? They arent as sunken as yesterday?Update: she lifted her head. The blackness in her beard is going away and shes taking in lots of water. She opened her eyes for a minute
She looks much better --- she seems to be pulling thru and and whatever it was -- please no more broccoli for her -- I dont know if that is what it was but w/ her pooping it out and throwing it up I am sure helped - keep us posted on her pleaseUpdate: she lifted her head. The blackness in her beard is going away and shes taking in lots of water. She opened her eyes for a minute
